Have you paid your electricity bill?..
Have you paid your electricity bill? If there is no credit in your meter (if using a pre-pay meter) or you have any unpaid bills/ failure to pay for connection; you must either top up your key meter or contact your electricity supplier and make a payment. Do your neighbours properties have power? If your neighbours also do not have power or the street lights are out it is likely there is a fault out with the premises. You must telephone the electricity board to check that the loss of power is not because of a general power cut or that the power has not been disconnected while works are happening nearby. Call 0800 300999 You can also check for live power cut updates by checking this website: https://www.ssepd.co.uk/Powertrack/ Have you checked your fuse board? If any of your switches have tripped or your fuses have blown, it’s likely that the issue is within your property. If the trip switch is on, turn the switch off and on again. Sometimes a safety feature can activate, and this will re-set it. If the trip switch is off, try to switch the trip back on. If it stays on but you still have no supply, check that the main switch on the fuse box is on. If the trip switch trips immediately, then you have a fault with your wiring, an appliance or the fuse box. Contact Westport Property to report this fault. If the loss of power is not due to one of those factors then you must contact us by telephone.Roof Leak?
