To get started

Built for tradespeople

For UK electricians.

Verified emergency calls ring nearby members. First to answer connects.

Over 40% of UK homes have consumer units installed before the 2008 wiring regulations update, making a tripped RCD or failing fuse board a genuine safety emergency. Part P compliance requirements mean customers cannot legally DIY most electrical fixes. They need a certified electrician, fast. An electrician who answers out of hours is rarely competing with anyone. They're simply the only option the customer has.

Seasonal Demand

When electrical demand peaks

The busiest callout windows, at a glance.

Oct – Nov

Load Season Begins

Heating and lighting draw increase sharply. Consumer units in older properties start tripping under loads they were never rated for. Callout volume rises steeply from late October.

Dec – Jan

Winter Peak

Maximum heating and lighting load simultaneously. RCD failures, circuit overloads and outdoor supply faults spike. Coldest weeks see the highest out-of-hours electrical callout volume.

Feb – Apr

Landlord EICR Wave

Electrical installation condition reports flagged in autumn are remediated before April letting deadlines. Consumer unit replacements peak sharply in this window.

May – Sep

EV and Outdoor Season

EV charger faults and outdoor circuit callouts increase as usage rises through summer. Garden lighting, outbuilding supplies and solar-adjacent faults grow year on year.

What's driving callout volume right now. Three things. Consumer unit replacements under the 18th Edition and the 2020 Electrical Safety Standards. Landlords must remediate within 28 days of a flagged EICR, many surface as emergency callouts when a fault forces the issue before a planned upgrade is booked. EV charger faults generating out-of-hours calls as ownership rises. And 1960s–70s PVC-insulated wiring reaching end of rated trade life, manifesting as unexplained trips and burning smells across a significant share of the housing stock.

NICEIC or NAPIT registration is not a marketing credential. It's the legal basis on which notifiable work can proceed under Part P. An electrician carrying out notifiable work without scheme registration is operating outside the law regardless of technical competence. customers who understand this (and more are aware of it than electricians assume) convert faster and negotiate less on rate. A scheme card shown at the door closes more jobs than any verbal assurance about experience or years in the trade.
