What to Do Right Now

Before you call us — follow these steps to keep yourself safe.

1
bolt

Switch off power

If it is safe to reach, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit (fuse box). This isolates the whole property from the supply.

2
water_drop

Water involved?

If water has reached your electrics, do not enter the affected area until you have confirmed power is off at the consumer unit.

3
local_fire_department

Burning smell or smoke?

Evacuate the property immediately and call 999 first. Only call us once the Fire Service has confirmed it is safe to re-enter.

What We Attend

Common Emergency Jobs

These are the situations we deal with most frequently. If yours isn't listed, call — we'll advise straight away.

electrical_services

Consumer unit / fuse board failure

The consumer unit has failed, blown, or is making noise. We diagnose the fault, make safe and provide a quote to repair or replace.

power_off

Complete power loss to property

Whole property has no power. We identify whether the fault is internal (your installation) or with the network (call 105 first).

toggle_off

RCD or breaker will not reset

Your RCD trips immediately on reset, indicating a live fault on the circuit. We isolate and identify the cause.

local_fire_department

Burning smell from socket or board

A hot or burning smell from electrical equipment is a fire risk. We trace the source, isolate it and advise on safe repair.

bolt

Sparking or discoloured socket / switch

Visible arcing, scorch marks or a socket that feels hot to touch. Isolated and made safe on arrival.

water_damage

Water damage to electrics

Flooding, burst pipes or roof leaks near electrical fittings. We assess what can be dried out and what must be replaced.

Electric shock incident

Someone has received a shock from a fitting or appliance. We investigate the cause and ensure the installation is safe.

Storm / impact damage

Storm damage to external wiring, meters or distribution equipment. We make safe and liaise with Western Power if needed.

Who Answers the Call

A Real Electrician, Not a Call Centre

When you call Live Line Electrical, you speak directly to Greg Piskozub — a NAPIT-registered electrician with 15 years of hands-on experience and a background in property development. There's no call centre, no contractor roulette. You get a straight answer from the person who'll be coming to help you.

Greg founded Live Line Electrical because he saw too many customers left in the dark — literally and figuratively — by firms that were slow to respond, unclear on pricing, or sent out different engineers every time. We operate differently: local, personal, accountable.

FAQ

Common Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often. These are also included in our structured data so AI search engines can find them instantly.

An electrical emergency is any situation that poses an immediate risk to safety or leaves your property without power unexpectedly. This includes: complete loss of power, burning smells from sockets or the fuse board, sparking or melting sockets, an RCD that will not stay reset, water contact with electrics, exposed live wires, or an electric shock incident.

If it is safe, switch off the main switch on your consumer unit. Do not touch anything that looks damaged, wet or melted. If there is a burning smell or smoke, evacuate and call 999 first. Once the immediate danger is managed, call us on 07590 517472 and we'll advise you over the phone.

If your RCD trips once and resets cleanly, it needs investigating but isn't necessarily an emergency. If the RCD will not stay on — or trips immediately on reset — that is a live fault and should be treated as urgent. Call us and we'll advise whether it needs same-day attendance.

We aim to respond to genuine emergencies the same day where possible. We'll give you an honest arrival estimate when you call. We cover Bristol, Yate, Thornbury, Chipping Sodbury and surrounding areas in South Gloucestershire.

Out-of-hours work may carry a different rate to standard daytime hours. We are always transparent about pricing — you'll receive a clear quote before any work starts, regardless of when we attend.

Yes. Once we have assessed the fault on site, we give you a fixed quote before starting work. We don't charge for work without your prior approval.

Bristol and South Gloucestershire, including Yate, Thornbury, Chipping Sodbury, Filton, Bradley Stoke, Emersons Green, Kingswood, Patchway and surrounding areas. If you're unsure, call us and we'll confirm.

Yes. Where required by BS 7671, we issue a Minor Works Certificate (for small repairs) or an Electrical Installation Certificate (for more significant work). This is important for insurance and property records.
