Storm damaged electrical repairs: questions and answers
Who deals with fallen power lines?
Keep well away and contact the electricity network operator; call 999 if there is immediate danger. Property electricians cannot treat a damaged network line as an ordinary household repair.
Who deals with a fallen overhead supply cable?
Keep well clear and contact the responsible electricity network operator. Do not approach or move a fallen cable; the property repair scope is separate from network work.
What affects the quotation for storm damaged electrical repairs?
The extent of damage, safe access, isolation and replacement equipment determine the repair scope. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
