Working in Canton
Canton sits just west of the city centre, with Cowbridge Road East running through it and a busy mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
Most of Canton is tightly packed Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, much of it now with modern kitchens, loft conversions and extensions added over the years. Older wiring alongside newer additions is common, which makes testing and inspection worthwhile before any big job.

What should I do in an electrical emergency?
If a fault has caused a fire or a medical emergency, call 999 first. If it's safe to do so, switch the power off at your consumer unit. Then call us on 02922 780 300 and choose the emergency option, and we'll be with you as soon as possible.
What should I do if I smell burning?
If it's safe to do so, switch the power off at your consumer unit straight away, then call us. Burning smells or unusual noises from your electrics can point to a serious fault that needs urgent attention.
My power has gone off. What should I check first?
See whether it's just your property. If your neighbours are off too, it is probably a fault on the network, which you can report by calling 105. If it's only you, check your consumer unit for a switch that has tripped. If it trips again when you reset it, or you can't find the cause, call us.
What should I do if my consumer unit keeps tripping?
First, look at which switch has tripped. If it's a single circuit breaker (MCB), the problem is usually on that circuit: too many appliances running at once, or a fault in one appliance or in the wiring. If it's an RCD or RCBO (these have a small test button), it has detected electricity leaking to earth, often from a faulty appliance or from water getting into an outside light, socket or junction box.
To narrow it down, switch off and unplug everything on the affected circuit, reset the switch, then plug things back in one at a time. If it trips when a particular appliance goes on, that appliance is the likely cause. Kettles, ovens, immersion heaters, washing machines and outdoor equipment are common culprits.
Never hold a switch on, tape it up or fit a higher-rated breaker. If it won't reset with everything unplugged, trips with nothing in use, or you notice a burning smell, scorch marks or a hot consumer unit, switch off at the main switch if it's safe to do so and call us on 02922 780 300. We'll test the circuits, find the fault and put it right.
