If you suspect a power cut  you can call the National Power Cut Helpline on 105 or visit SSEN’s website to see live updates on power cuts and to report your loss of power. 

A simple way to check if you have a power cut is to look at the other houses in your street to see if their lights are on. If they are, check your consumer unit to see if your trip switch is on. If you’re not sure how to do this, see the guide in our DIY section
