Introduction
Losing power is stressful — but a few safe checks can tell you whether it’s a simple reset or a job for an emergency electrician. Here’s exactly what to do.
Is It Just You?
First check whether your neighbours have power. If the whole street is out, it’s a network fault — call your distribution operator on 105. If it’s only your home, the problem is likely in your own installation.

Check Your Consumer Unit
Look at your fuse board. If a breaker or RCD has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again immediately, stop — there’s a fault that needs a qualified electrician. Unplug anything you’d just switched on and try again.
