When an electrical fault strikes unexpectedly, every second counts. At TBE Electrical LTD, we’re here to provide quick and reliable emergency electrical services. Our electricians in Colchester are available 24/7 to restore your power.
Fault Finding & Power Cuts
Electrical faults in Colchester can appear without warning — flickering lights, sockets that stop working, or entire areas of your home suddenly losing power. While these issues can sometimes be caused by tripped circuits or faulty appliances, others may point to more serious wiring or fuseboard problems.
Our emergency team is trained in fault-finding, using professional diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of the issue rather than just the symptom. We inspect circuits, check for overloads, and test your consumer unit to locate any underlying faults quickly and safely. If you’re experiencing a power cut isolated to your property, it’s important to act fast. Attempting to fix the issue yourself can be dangerous. With TBE Electrical LTD, help is just a call away — and we’ll ensure your home is made safe before we leave.
Urgent Electrical Repairs
When electrical systems fail, the consequences can range from inconvenience to real danger. Our emergency electricians respond quickly in Colchester, including areas near Colchester Castle, Castle Park, and key transport crossings close to the town centre, handling a wide range of urgent repairs including tripped circuits, damaged wiring, socket failures, lighting faults, and overheated consumer units.
We carry all the necessary tools and replacement components in our vans, allowing us to complete most repairs during our first visit. If a more extensive fix is needed, we’ll make your system safe immediately and arrange a prompt return visit to finish the job properly.
Every repair is performed in accordance with current BS 7671 Wiring Regulations, ensuring your property remains compliant and protected. We never cut corners or apply temporary fixes — our focus is on restoring safety, reliability, and peace of mind.
What Clients Say
Fast Response, Local Team
Our local presence also means we never rely on subcontractors or third-party call centres. When you call us, you speak directly with Bailey or Trent — experienced electricians who will guide you calmly through what to do while help is on the way.
We pride ourselves on arriving promptly, working neatly, and leaving your property safe and fully operational. Every emergency callout concludes with a full test and a clear explanation of the fault, so you’ll know exactly what happened and how to prevent it in the future.
Emergency Electrician – Colchester FAQs
How quickly can you attend an electrical emergency in Colchester?

An electrical emergency in Colchester is any situation that poses an immediate risk to your safety or property, such as:
- Loss of power to your home or business in Colchester town centre or nearby suburbs
- Sparks, smoke, or burning smells from sockets or fuse boards
- Circuit breakers that won’t reset

If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, it’s always safest to call us immediately for advice.

Can you repair the fault on the same visit?
In most cases, yes. Our vans carry the most commonly needed parts and tools, allowing us to diagnose and repair many faults during the first visit. If specialist parts are needed, we’ll make the installation safe and arrange a prompt follow-up in the Colchester area.

If it’s safe to do so:
- Turn off the power at the consumer unit (fuse board)
- Keep clear of damaged wiring or affected areas
