The town has a lot of post-war housing, flats and newer developments. Landlords here often need EICRs and tenant-ready remedials in a short timeframe.
Borehamwood is known for its film and television studios, and it also has an industrial area and busy local centre. We support commercial customers with installations, testing and emergency lighting.
Much of the emergency work around Borehamwood comes from landlords, letting agents and tenants. If a tenant reports a loss of power, a tripping circuit or a scorched socket, ring the office, give us the address and access details, and we send an engineer. We make the installation safe, tell you what we found and quote any repair in writing.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
- A burning smell, smoke, sparks or a scorched socket, switch or consumer unit.
- Exposed live wires, or a shock from an appliance or fitting.
- Water on electrics, or a flooded consumer unit.
- Power lost to your property when the neighbours still have theirs.
- A circuit that trips again straight after you reset it.
While you wait: stay safe
- If there is a fire, or anyone is injured, call 999.
- If it is safe and the area is dry, switch off the main switch at the consumer unit.
- Do not touch anything wet, damaged or scorched, and keep people and pets away.
- If the power is out across your street, call 105. It is free and reaches your network operator.

A team behind you, not just a one-man electrician

See how that compares on our main St Albans emergency electrician page. For everything else we do in Borehamwood, see electricians in Borehamwood.

Questions we are asked in Borehamwood
How quickly can an emergency electrician get to Borehamwood?
Call 0345 3 822 833 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Borehamwood is about 8 miles from SEG House and we aim to have an engineer on site within one hour of your call.
Do you attend emergencies in Borehamwood out of hours?
Our phones are answered 7am to 10pm, seven days a week. The one-hour response is promised Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm; outside those times we take the details and tell you honestly when we can get an engineer to you. If anyone is in danger or there is a fire, call 999.
Why use a team rather than a one-man electrician in Borehamwood?
Capacity. A sole trader cannot be on two jobs at once, and illness, holidays or a van breakdown can leave an emergency waiting. SEG has several employed engineers and vans and an office that sends the nearest one, so if one engineer is busy, another attends.
Who do I call if the power is out across the street in Borehamwood?
Call 105 for free. It connects you to the network operator for your area, who deal with faults on the supply up to your meter. If only your property has lost power, call us.
Do you work with the studios and production companies in Borehamwood?
We take on commercial and temporary power and lighting work for businesses of all sizes. Tell us what you need and we will say whether it is a job for us.
Can you carry out EICRs on Borehamwood flats and blocks?
Yes. We inspect individual flats and whole blocks, and can combine fire alarm and emergency lighting checks where they are needed.
Need it done by a date?
Tell us the deadline. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it — and we usually can.
