What to Check Before Booking an Electrician
Electrical work should be explained clearly before the visit. Photos, appliance details, and the exact issue help the professional arrive better prepared.

Share the exact issue
Mention whether the issue is switch/socket repair, MCB trip, wiring check, appliance wiring, fan/light fitting, or emergency electrical repair.
If possible, share a photo of the switchboard, appliance point, meter area, or damaged wiring before the visit.
Understand what may cost extra
Switches, sockets, wires, MCBs, holders, pipes, casing, drilling, wall cutting, and other materials are usually charged separately.
Unsafe-height work, concealed wiring, major rewiring, and civil repair should be checked and quoted separately.
Safety first
Avoid touching exposed wires or repeatedly resetting a tripping MCB. Keep children away from the area until the professional checks it.
If there is burning smell, sparking, or shock risk, switch off the relevant supply where safe and contact support.
Questions customers ask
Does electrician visit price include parts?
Usually no. Labour and visit scope are separate from parts and materials unless the service clearly says otherwise.
Can concealed wiring be fixed in one visit?
It depends on fault location, wall access, material availability, and safety. Some concealed wiring issues need inspection and separate quotation.
