A dark house does not always mean a network fault. Check whether a trip switch at your consumer unit has operated, then look outside for unlit street lights or ask a neighbour if their supply is off. If the whole road is out, the checker or the map should list it. If only your property is out and the switch will not reset, a qualified electrician should take a look.
Telford’s M54 manufacturing, technology and distribution sites rely on steady power. We provide emergency generator hire, standby generators and local coverage through our West Midlands team.
A sudden loss of supply can halt production lines, hold up dispatch and leave building managers dealing with lighting, security and essential equipment. We can arrange emergency generator hire 24/7, and we also service and maintain generators so a site’s own unit is ready when it is needed.
Generator capacity and connection depend on the load, so we look at what the site needs before arranging equipment, whether it is planned cover or an urgent call during a local network fault.
For a power cut at home, call 105. Our generator services are for businesses.
