Electrical safety

Electrical safety concerns should be recorded and reported

Faulty electrics can be dangerous. House Krowd helps you record the facts while keeping safety as the first priority.

Do not take risks for evidence

Only take photos if it is safe. Do not touch exposed wiring, wet sockets, sparking fittings, or damaged appliances.

  • Power cuts or repeated tripping
  • Burn marks, buzzing, or heat
  • Sockets affected by water
  • Inspection dates and certificates if provided

When delays matter

If reported electrical concerns are not dealt with, a clear timeline can help with complaints or advice. Emergency risks need urgent reporting.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if a socket sparks?

Keep away from it, stop using it if safe to do so, and use the urgent repair or emergency route for your situation.

Can I ask for electrical safety documents?

You can ask your landlord about inspections and safety records. Your rights depend on your tenancy and housing type.

Should I record power cuts?

Yes. Note dates, duration, affected rooms, and whether neighbours are affected too.
