Crawley Power Cut Checker
Use this page to see if there is currently a power cut in Crawley.
In Crawley, the electricity network is run by UK Power Networks. Check live outages on its UK Power Networks live power cut map or call 105 free. If your business is without power, we can arrange an emergency generator 24/7.
UK Power Networks owns the lines and cables here. Its UK Power Networks live power cut map will show whether your neighbourhood has a known fault. If not, ring 105 for free, any time. Stay away from any cable on the ground and tell others to do the same.
Is it just you? Look at the consumer unit for a tripped switch, then glance up the road. If the street lights and the neighbours are dark too, the fault is on the network. Torches are safer than candles while you wait, and an older neighbour may be glad of a knock on the door. When power returns, wait a moment before switching heavy appliances on again.
Manor Royal is Crawley’s main industrial estate, and Broadfield Business Park and Gatwick Airport are also on the doorstep. Cuts at sites like these affect stock, machinery and staff. On a large estate a single fault can stop production lines, cold stores and loading bays at once, while offices lose phones, servers and door access. Warehouses near the airport can also lose shutters and scanners. Businesses serving the airport often work around the clock, so an outage overnight matters as much as one at midday.
We bring in emergency generator hire 24/7, supply standby generators for sites that want backup in place, and service and maintain the generators businesses already run. Tell us what has to stay on and we can help size a generator to match. We cover this part of Sussex through our Brighton and Hove page, and our guide explains how to keep your business running.
UK Power Networks maintains the underground cables and overhead lines around Crawley, Three Bridges and Gatwick, and its engineers respond when a fault is reported. Households with health needs, or who are older or vulnerable, may be eligible for the Priority Services Register, so ask UK Power Networks to add you.
