What we fix.
If yours is not on the list, book anyway and say what has happened. The engineer who takes the job sees your answers first.
No power at all
Tested at the fuse box first to find whether it is your wiring or the supply, then made safe and restored.
A fuse box that keeps tripping
The faulty circuit or appliance found, rather than the switch simply being pushed back up.
Dead sockets and switches
Faults traced and worn fittings replaced like for like.
Lights that will not work
Fittings, switches and the circuit checked, and replaced where they have failed.
Breakers and RCDs
Failed protective devices replaced so the circuit is safe to use again.
While you wait.
- Leave the fuse box alone if it keeps tripping
- Unplug whatever was on when it went
- Keep a torch handy
What happens first
The engineer will test at the fuse box first to find the circuit at fault.
If it needs more
You get a fixed quote on your phone, built from our price list. Nothing starts until you approve it. Say no and you only pay the visit fee.
How Mains works.
The same on every job. See the five steps.
The price is on the screen first
You see what the visit costs before you give us any details, and your card is only charged when the engineer arrives.
You know who is coming
Name, photo and van registration before they arrive, and a four-digit code at the door that matches the one on your phone.
Checked before they join
We check every engineer’s public liability insurance, and the Gas Safe register before anyone is offered gas work.
Guaranteed for 12 months
If the same fault comes back, tap “The problem has come back” on your receipt and the return visit is free.
People ask.
The fuse box keeps tripping. Should I keep resetting it?
No. Unplug whatever was on when it went and leave the fuse box alone. A switch that trips again is telling you there is a fault.
Half the house has no power. Is that an emergency?
If lights or sockets on one circuit are out it can usually wait for a booked slot, which costs less. If nothing works at all, book as soon as possible.
Will the electrician be able to fix it on the first visit?
Most faults are found and made safe inside the first hour. If parts or more time are needed you get a fixed quote on your phone before anything else is done.
Do you rewire houses or fit new circuits?
Not yet. Mains is for faults and repairs: getting the power back on safely. For larger planned work you need a contractor who can survey and certify it.
Midlands first, then city by city.
Mains opens in the Midlands first, then one city at a time, so there is always an engineer close enough to reach you quickly. Put your postcode in and we tell you straight away, or text you the day we reach you.
