Quote: electrical fault repair
E.g.: total power cut, short circuit, burning smell
Describe observations without opening the board or dismantling equipment. State affected rooms, onset and interrupted services. For fire, injury or immediate danger call 112: a quote request does not replace emergency assistance.
Address danger first
For smoke, fire or injury contact 112 and follow instructions. Stay away from flooded electrical installation: Creos advises staying dry and arranging professional isolation. Do not restore power after flooding without professional checks.
Describe without intervening
Note affected areas, time and preceding events. State essential equipment and unusual signs. Take pictures only safely, without opening covers or touching the installation.
Identify responsibility
Mention other affected homes or common areas. Establish whether the issue involves the network, communal installation, home or appliance. Inform building management about shared equipment; a private repair appointment may not cover it.
Separate diagnosis and repair
Ask what will be investigated, what can be restored and which restrictions remain. Identify temporary measures clearly. Confirm cost and approval before replacement or work beyond agreed scope.
Keep the report
Request identified cause or remaining uncertainty, replaced parts and completed checks. If the fault cannot be reproduced, clarify next steps and return conditions. The absence of further tripping alone does not establish its cause.

Frequently asked questions
Does 112 replace an electrician?
No. It handles rescue emergencies including fire and injury; an ordinary fault without danger needs the appropriate repair service.
Is travel payable without repairs?
Check before ordering. Diagnosis may be a separate service.
Can the full price be guaranteed before diagnosis?
A fee may cover limited scope. Ask how additional work is priced and approved.
Should I repeatedly reset it?
Do not persist with a recurring fault or dismantle protective covers. Arrange professional assessment.
