Right now
01
Check the street
If the neighbours and street lights are off too, it is a power cut. Ring 105 for SP Energy Networks. Nothing an electrician can fix.
02
Check your board
If it is only your house and a switch has dropped, unplug everything on that circuit and push it up once. If it will not stay up with nothing plugged in, leave it off and ring Jack.
03
Smell, sparks or heat?
If it is safe to reach, switch off the main switch. Do not open the board or take socket fronts off. If there is smoke or fire, get out and ring 999 first.
04
Tell Jack what it is doing
Which rooms are off, what was running when it went, and whether it trips straight away. That saves time when he arrives.
Dunfermline homes
Dunfermline's housing runs across three eras: sandstone and Victorian terraces near the centre, solid post-war streets, and the big modern estates out at Duloch and Kingseat. The emergencies follow the housing. In the older stock it is usually a board that has been added to for decades, with one RCD across half the house, so a small fault in the garden lights or the immersion takes the kitchen and the freezer off with it. In the newer houses it is more often a single appliance, an outside socket after a wet week, or a circuit overloaded by a new kitchen.
Either way the job is the same. Jack tests circuit by circuit until the fault has a location, tells you what it was in plain English, and puts it right, rather than pushing the switch back up and driving away. Anything dangerous is made safe first. If the real fix is a bigger job, like a new consumer unit, you get a written price and the house is left safe in the meantime.

Dunfermline · your questions
Yes. Jack does emergency call-outs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across Dunfermline and the villages round it. Ring 07466 017593 and it is Jack who answers, not a call centre or an answering service.
Jack is based in Dalgety Bay, a short run from Dunfermline. He will tell you honestly on the phone how soon he can be with you. A genuine emergency goes to the front of his day, and if someone else can get there faster he will say so.
No power in the house when the neighbours have it, a switch on the board that will not stay up, a burning smell, scorch marks, sparking, a hot socket, water near electrics, or a tingle from a tap or appliance. If it feels wrong, ring.
Jack talks it through on the phone first. Once he has found the fault you get told what it is and what the repair costs before he does it, so there is no surprise bill.
If the neighbours and the street lights are off too, it is a power cut, so ring 105 for SP Energy Networks. If it is only your house and a switch on your board has dropped, the fault is on your side and Jack can help.
