Is one building at your property without electricity while the main house still has lights and power?
Call Wesslink if you need an emergency electrician in Sandhurst for a sudden interruption, tripping or damaged electrical equipment. Explain what has failed and mention any burning smell, sparks or shock. We can investigate the problem and help you decide what needs repair before equipment is put back into use.
You don’t need to diagnose the fault before calling. Describe what you noticed and what stopped working.
01
The cottage goes dark while the house stays on
Tell the electrician what the cottage contains and whether it has any separate controls or backup supply you know about. Do not follow underground cables or open equipment to find the connection. Existing drawings or a previous invoice can be useful.
02
A fault follows an addition to the property
Explain what changed, which contractor did the work and when the problem first appeared. The timing is worth reporting without deciding who caused it. A completed finish can conceal electrical work that still needs investigation.
03
A driveway fitting is damaged or sparking
Keep residents and visitors away from the affected fitting. If the usual entrance cannot be used safely, arrange another meeting point. Tell Wesslink whether lighting, gates or other systems failed together, rather than treating every outdoor symptom as a gate problem.

Know the charge before the visit.
Access to separate buildings, concealed feeds and the extent of testing can affect the charge. Ask Wesslink what is included in the first attendance and how any further investigation or repairs will be approved before parts are ordered.

URGENT ELECTRICAL REPAIRS
Do not lose track of the equipment left off
At a property with several occupants or separate buildings, one person may not know that a circuit has been left unused for a reason. Arrange for the repair findings to reach the people who use that part of the property. Ask which work is complete and what still needs attention. An instruction to leave something off should be specific enough that another occupant will not inadvertently reverse it.
For a Sandhurst property with a cottage, home office or outbuilding, tell us which parts have lost power and which still work. Mention any recent alterations and whether those spaces have separate electrical boards. You do not need to work out how they are connected; a clear account helps us plan the checks needed at your address.

Questions before you call.
Practical answers about urgent electrical faults and repairs.
Can a fault in an outbuilding affect the main house?+
Depending on the installation, it can. Describe both sets of symptoms and any known connection, but let testing establish the relationship rather than assuming the buildings are electrically independent.
Should a gardener look for a damaged buried cable?+
No. Do not ask anyone to dig around or handle a suspected electrical feed. Provide existing route information if you have it and leave the investigation to the electrician.
Can you work around finishes we need to preserve?+
Explain those concerns before the visit and supply existing plans where available. Testing should establish the necessary access; any building or decorative repair needs a clear agreement rather than an assumption that it is included.
What should I do if there is smoke, sparking or a burning smell?+
Keep everyone away from the affected equipment. Do not touch suspect switches, wet electrical fittings or exposed wiring. If there is a fire or immediate danger, leave the area and contact emergency services. Tell Wesslink what you noticed from a safe distance.
Does an emergency call-out have a fixed price?+
The charge depends on attendance, testing and the repair required. Ask about the call-out fee, any after-hours charge and how further labour or parts will be approved before you book. Availability is confirmed when you contact us.
Does a power cut at one property prove the wiring is faulty?+
No. A fault can involve the incoming supply, meter, shared building equipment or private installation. Tell us what still works and whether neighbouring properties are affected. Do not open a board or repeatedly reset a tripping breaker to investigate.
