SOUTHEND POWER OUTAGE: WHAT TO DO NOW
The UK Power Networks live power cut map lists faults across Southend, Westcliff, Leigh and Shoeburyness by postcode. If yours is missing, ring 105 (free) to report it. Turn off appliances that could restart unattended, keep the freezer shut and keep a torch to hand rather than a naked flame.
First, make sure the cut is not limited to your home. A tripped switch in the consumer unit is something an electrician can look at, while a dark street means a network fault that the map should show.
- Seafront and pier-area businesses should check card terminals and alarms once power returns
- Report downed lines or sparking equipment on 105 and stay well back
- Unplug computers, tills and televisions so a surge cannot damage them
- Knock on the door of an older or vulnerable neighbour to check they are coping
When the lights return, bring appliances back in stages and make sure freezer food is still frozen.
SOUTHEND BUSINESSES THAT CAN’T STOP
Companies based within the London Southend Airport boundary employ around 450 workers, and before the pandemic day visitors to the seafront and Southend Pier contributed over £308 million a year to the local economy. When supply fails, seafront venues lose card payments, chillers and lighting, and offices and workshops lose their systems and machinery. For these and for offices and workshops across the city, our Essex cover includes temporary generators. Our emergency generator hire runs day and night, and we also install standby generators and service existing ones. Tell us what has to keep running and we can help size a generator for it, from a single café to a busy workshop. Planning ahead is cheaper than an outage; see how to keep your business running.
