London's housing stock is among the oldest in the UK, and its age is a major factor in the city's high rate of electrical emergencies. Victorian and Edwardian properties — which make up a large proportion of inner London's homes — frequently contain wiring installed in the 1950s, 1960s, or even earlier. Rubber and fabric-insulated wiring degrades over time, and overloaded circuits in older properties are a leading cause of domestic electrical fires. In basement flats across Islington, Camden, and Kensington, water ingress following heavy rain is a recurrent trigger for emergency call-outs. Autumn and winter storms regularly damage aerial cables and outdoor wiring across North and East London boroughs.
If you smell burning from an electrical fitting or switch, see sparks, or your consumer unit keeps tripping immediately after you reset it — treat it as an emergency. Do not keep resetting a repeatedly tripping RCD or MCB; the fault that is causing it to trip could cause a fire. If you believe there is an imminent danger, isolate the electricity at the main switch in the consumer unit (if safe to reach) and leave the property. London Fire Brigade attends hundreds of accidental dwelling fires each year that start from electrical faults — prompt action from a registered electrician can prevent a small fault becoming a major incident. Always verify that your emergency electrician is NICEIC or NAPIT registered before any work is carried out.
