Urgent faults.
Everyday electrics.
Useful advice starts with the actual property and problem. We explain the proposed work before you approve it.
Faults & loss of power
Tell us whether the whole property has lost power or only certain rooms, lights or appliances. A supply outage and a fault inside the property need different responses. If it is safe to do so, check your electricity network’s outage information on your phone and tell us whether nearby properties appear affected. Do not open a switchboard, remove covers, touch exposed wiring or repeatedly reset a circuit that trips.
We assess the reported symptoms and accessible installation to establish the work needed. Some faults need investigation before a repair can be priced. Tell us when the problem started, whether it is intermittent and if there has been water ingress or recent work. A repair may depend on safe access, specialist assessment and suitable parts; a call-out does not guarantee the supply can be restored immediately.
Lighting repairs & changes
Flickering lights, a fitting that has stopped working or lighting that no longer suits a room are useful reasons to call. Describe which lights are affected and any buzzing, heat, smell or visible damage. Avoid using a fitting that appears damaged and keep clear of exposed parts. Do not remove fittings to investigate wiring.
For planned changes, explain how the room is used, where better light is needed and whether you want to retain existing fittings or controls. We discuss compatibility, access and the electrical work involved before agreeing the scope. Lighting changes are assessed for the actual property rather than promising that every fitting can be replaced like for like.
Switches, sockets & routine repairs
A loose switch, damaged socket or unreliable power point needs assessment rather than a temporary workaround. Stop using damaged electrical accessories, keep people clear and tell us if there is heat, scorching, smoke or a burning smell. Never insert anything into a socket or attempt a wiring repair yourself.
Bring your list of smaller jobs when booking so the required work and access can be considered together. Replacement accessories, new positions and changes to circuits may involve different requirements. Electrical work is carried out by appropriately authorised electrical tradespeople. We agree the work, pricing and any necessary approvals before proceeding.
The next step
An urgent electrical problem?
Start with safety.
Call 24/7 for emergency electrical help. Attendance and applicable charges must be confirmed; location, availability, access and the fault affect timing. We do not guarantee an arrival or completion time.
- 01 /
Keep clear
For smoke, fire, electric shock, fallen lines or immediate danger, move to a safe place and call 111. Keep well away from fallen power lines and anything touching them. Do not touch a person still in contact with electricity, wet electrical equipment or exposed conductors.
- 02 /
Describe the symptoms
Call from a safe place with the address, what has stopped working and any signs of heat, smoke or water. Tell us if anyone depends on powered medical equipment; follow their care provider’s emergency arrangements and call 111 for a medical emergency.
- 03 /
Confirm the work
We discuss the next step, attendance and call-out or after-hours charges. Fault finding may be needed before the full repair is known. Additional work and cost need your agreement. For rentals, identify who can approve the work and arrange lawful access.

Electrical
questions.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical call-outs?
Yes. Call with the Lower Hutt address and symptoms so we can confirm attendance and applicable charges. Availability, safe access and the fault determine timing. We cannot promise immediate attendance or restoration of power.
What if the whole street has lost power?
A wider outage may need the electricity network rather than a repair inside your property. Check the network’s outage information on your phone if safe, or contact its faults service. Keep clear of fallen lines. Call us if the source is unclear or the property still has a fault after the wider supply is restored.
Should I keep resetting a tripping circuit?
No. Repeated tripping can indicate a fault. Do not repeatedly reset it, open covers or investigate the wiring. Keep clear of damaged equipment and call with the symptoms so an appropriately authorised electrical tradesperson can assess it.
Can you repair lights, switches and sockets?
Yes, these are part of our routine electrical scope. Tell us what is not working and share model details or a safely taken photo if available. We assess condition, compatibility and parts before recommending repair or replacement.
How is electrical work priced?
The fault, investigation, access, parts and timing affect the price. We explain scope and pricing before approval, including applicable call-out or after-hours charges. Some faults need an assessment before the complete repair can be quoted.
Can electrical and other trade work be booked together?
Tell us about the complete job so we can confirm the scope and scheduling. Hutt TradeWorks remains your point of contact. Specialist subcontractors may carry out parts of the work, with regulated work undertaken by appropriately authorised tradespeople. Your quote identifies the business you are contracting with.
