Emergency Electrician Malta service

Exposed or damaged cable

A cable is cut, crushed, burnt or hanging loose.

Exposed cable usually turns up after building work (a drill through a wall, a cable cut while chasing), after a fitting has been pulled off, or where an old installation has been extended without care. In rented flats it is often a light fitting removed by a previous tenant and left hanging.

If you are not sure which circuit it is on, the main switch is the safe answer.

Emergency request

Sparks, smoke or no power?
Send this now.

Tell us what is happening and where. It reaches us marked as an emergency and goes to one CheckYourTraders-verified electrician, who rings you back.

While you wait

  • Smell burning or see sparks: switch off at the main switch
  • Never touch a wet socket, switch or appliance
  • Fire, smoke you cannot isolate, or a shock: ring 112 first

Emergency electrical work is published in Maltese price guides at €50 to €100 an hour at night and at weekends. You hear the charge before anyone sets off.

Emergency call-out

Marked as an emergency the moment it arrives. This is a request for a call-back, not a confirmed attendance. To get you a call fast we pass your name, number, locality and problem to one CheckYourTraders-verified electrician, who rings you; we may also text you to check it was sorted. If anyone is in danger, ring 112.

What it costs

A call-out is €20 to €60 in the day and emergency labour €50 to €100 an hour out of hours, in the published Maltese guides. Making a cable safe is usually a short job; a proper repair is priced before it starts.

How it works

You send one form; we pass it to one CheckYourTraders-verified electrician, who calls you back, quotes the call-out before travelling and contracts with you directly for the repair. We follow up to check it was sorted.

Questions people ask

Can it wait until the morning?
If you can switch that circuit off and keep everyone away, often yes. If it is in a common area, a tenant's flat or anywhere you cannot isolate, send the form now.
Who pays in a rented flat?
Normally the landlord, for a fault in the installation. Photograph it and tell the landlord as soon as you can.
