What we get called to in Dagenham
This page keeps its original address because it has been linked to for years. The full account of emergency work in Dagenham — what comes off the Becontree estate, what we look at first, and what we can finish the same night — is on the main Dagenham emergency page.

What to do while you wait
Switch off the circuit, not the house
If something is arcing, scorched or smells hot, turn off the breaker for that circuit at the consumer unit and leave it off. You keep the lights on everywhere else, and nothing gets worse while we are on our way.
Leave it as you found it
Resist swapping the socket or resetting the breaker repeatedly. A fault that has been reset a dozen times is harder to find, and the state you found it in is often the most useful evidence we have.
Tell us what changed
What was switched on, what work has been done recently, whether water has got in. Most faults have a cause somebody already knows about, and hearing it on the phone shortens the visit.
If you cannot get to the consumer unit safely, or there is water involved, or you can smell burning and cannot tell where it is coming from, do not go looking. Get everyone out of that room and ring us.
How the call goes
On the phone
A person picks up, not a machine taking a message for the morning. You will be asked what it is doing, told what to switch off in the meantime, and given a time — for an emergency in Dagenham that is usually inside the hour.
On arrival
The first job is making it safe, which is not the same as fixing it. Once the danger is gone there is time to find out what actually happened, and that order matters more at two in the morning than at two in the afternoon.
Before we leave
You will be told what was wrong, what was done about it, and whether what is left is finished or holding. Where a proper repair needs daylight, materials or another pair of hands, we will say that plainly instead of pretending the job is closed.
Not an emergency?
This page is for the things that cannot wait until morning. For rewires, fuse boards, EICRs and everything else in Dagenham (RM8 RM9 RM10), the area page covers what we do there and what the housing stock tends to need.
