Is an electrical fault always an emergency?
No. Burning, smoke, arcing, heat or water near electrics can be urgent. Keep away, isolate power only if safe, and call 999 if there is fire or immediate danger.

Electrical faults can have several causes, so the safest repair begins with systematic testing rather than replacing parts at random. GetSparky.uk sends the issue details to electricians with fault-finding skills and shows their rates before you confirm dispatch.

Often the cause is unknown until testing begins. You see the electrician's call-out and hourly rates first, then approve any quoted repair or materials separately.
