Power cut or a fault in the property?
If the neighbours have lost power too, it is a network power cut and 105 is the number to call, free. If only your home or one circuit is off, the fault is usually inside the property, though a supply fault can affect a single house. Not sure which? Call 105 first. This site passes enquiries on and is not an emergency service.
Power cut? Call 105Water near electrics
Keep away from water anywhere near sockets, lights or the consumer unit, and keep children and pets out too.

Stop using the socket or appliance and stay away from it. Switch off at the main switch only if you can do it safely. If there are flames or smoke, leave the building and dial 999, and do not wait to switch off or fill in a form.

Who do I call in a power cut?

Should I turn the power off at the main switch?
