Safety First!

  • If there is any risk to people or property (fire, for example) call 111.

  • Turn off sensitive electrical equipment (computers, cooking, heating) and main switch if safe to do so.

To aid in the removal and/ or replacement of your meter we need the following information.

  • When did the event occur

  • What was the Event

  • Is the property still habitable or have you moved to temporary accommodation, will the property be repaired or demolished?

  • What is the possible cause (If you suspect the meter board was the cause of the fire, we will need photos to confirm)

  • Has the meter/switchboard been affected

  • Did the fire service attend? If so, do they have a theory about the cause

  • What were the weather conditions at the time

  • Have you had any recent electrical work completed prior to the event

  • Is the account holder the Tenant or Homeowner

If the property has been significantly damaged, please contact us via live chat when you're ready to decommission the service.

Is there a fee?

  • If the wiring is intact and safe and there is just smoke damage, we will replace the meter with no fee.
