Total power outage on 15 May

Total power outage on 15 May. Emergency engineer came within 40 minutes. Problem identified as faulty UK Power Sytems fuse which had overheated and failed. Told fuse assembly needed changing and kitchen cabinet needed removing for access. Told to phone when ready. He did manage to clean contacts and get power on. Got a kitchen fitter following day and phoned you on 18 May. Phoned 3 days later to be told you had not recorded fact we were ready. This was corrected but we have now been waiting 6 weeks for this to be resolved. Have phoned twice for an update: no forecast given. Kitchen still dismantled, not happy with long delay in fixing this problem permanently.

UK power networks and Lewisham Council…

UK power networks and Lewisham Council have left 64 residents without water in a red weather warning and without any working lifts.
Just had a flimsy excuse that UK power networks can't bring any water to us because there is a cap on what they can order...8pm last night to ongoing....

Being a disabled person

Being a disabled person, it was great to receive information and updates on the information
The downside is when the electricity goes the lift goes out of order and it takes days to get it fixed
As I live on the third floor and with a heart condition, it makes it very difficult for me to get out to do shopping cause I can’t do the stairs

I am very elderly and when my electricity went off Uk Power Networks came the same day and diagnosed an underground cable was faulty. They were able to put the power back on in temporary fashion that same day and carried out the cable repair within a couple of days. All the workers were very helpful and pleasant.

Excellent Updates Following Power Cut

Following an unplanned power cut UK Power Networks were extremely quick to SMS me to explain what the situation was and how they intended to resolve the issue. Throughout the evening I received regular updates that was very useful and prevented unnecessary stress. In addition to the first class service to keep their customers updated the power fault was identified very quickly and their engineers resolved the issue by restoring power to mine and others homes.

They keep you very well informed. Once when power went off you would be going all round the house seeing if something was wrong.
Now I get a text message more or less immediately & checking to make sure when its back on. Great service. Thank you
