Emergency Electrician in Maidstone
Maidstone sits about 25 minutes from our Sittingbourne base, which makes same-day attendance realistic for most urgent faults here rather than something we have to hedge on. The calls we get most are boards that won't reset in the town-centre flat conversions — usually a faulty appliance or a genuine circuit fault rather than the board itself — and total losses in older rented property around Tovil and Shepway. If you're a landlord with a tenant without power, tell us that when you call, because we'll treat it as more urgent than a spare circuit being out.

How it works
Call and describe it
Tell us what happened and what you can see — we'll tell you if it's safe to wait.
Make safe
First priority is isolating the danger, not finishing the repair.
Diagnose properly
We trace the actual cause with test equipment rather than resetting and hoping.
Repair and test
The fault is fixed, the circuit re-tested, and you're told what caused it.
“Called Gary at 4am he was at my house for 5am and stopped the leak from doing any further damage and arranged for the repair to be carried out by a plumber. Had him back a few weeks later to find the problem with a socket in my garage that kept tripping. He rewired it all for me and now it works perfect.”
“I phoned him on a Saturday morning. He said could he pop round later and give us a quote. He checked everything and said the job was quite straightforward. The price was very reasonable and Gary said he could fit them there and then. Gary is very knowledgeable, he explained everything and carried out the work cleanly and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gary.”
“I had a problem with my lights, I had no lights in the house at all. Gary came over to the house and got all the electricity sorted for us in under an hour, so I have no problem recommending him and his company for any electrical issues. He was clean and tidy, good value, friendly and fast.”
“Gary has completed work for me a number of times, including fitting a new kitchen light, repairing a broken plug socket, fitting Hive, fitting alarm/security system and changing light switches to dimmer switches. He always completes work to a high standard.”
Urgent Call-Outs in Maidstone — common questions
Can you attend a Maidstone fault the same day?
Usually, yes. Maidstone is about 25 minutes away, we're regularly in the area, and we run a 24-hour call-out, so same-day or same-night attendance for genuinely urgent faults is realistic. We won't promise a time we can't hold — call 07825 333341, describe what's happened, and we'll tell you straight away what's possible.
My Maidstone flat's RCD trips as soon as I reset it — what now?
That normally means a live fault rather than a nuisance trip. Unplug everything on the affected circuit and try once more: if it holds, an appliance is the cause. If it trips immediately with nothing plugged in, leave it off and call us — resetting repeatedly onto a genuine earth fault is exactly the situation RCDs exist to prevent.
Are you a 24-hour emergency electrician?
Yes — we offer a 24-hour call-out for genuine emergencies, and we do turn out at night where it's warranted. We're a small Sittingbourne-based team rather than a national call-centre, which we'd argue is the better end of the deal: you speak to Gary, not a dispatcher. Call 07825 333341, tell us what's happened, and you'll get a straight answer on when we can be there.
What should I do while I wait?
If you can smell burning or see scorching, switch off at the main switch and don't reset anything. If a single circuit has tripped and won't reset, leave it off and unplug everything on it — that alone often identifies a faulty appliance. If there's water anywhere near the board or a socket, isolate and stay clear. Tell us what you've found when you call.
