Communication is always good

Communication is always good - positive, proactive & relevant. They keep you informed with exactly what’s going on, you can talk to a real, helpful person if you need to & they look out for anyone vulnerable. Rare, genuinely good service.

First rate service

I am 72, partially disabled and on the government's essential services register. UK power networks kept me constantly updated, called to make sure I was OK. Told me clearly what caused the outage, and when the power would be back, and it was. Well done. I was even given a personal contact.

I don't know if we just live in a good area, but (thankfullt) power cuts, if any, are short lived. The power is usually rerouted quickly, but the most important thing is UKPower seem to be on it very quickly & always keep in touch via text & give timeliness for repair

Great communication

We had a power cut when there was a fault with some underground cables. The power was back on within minutes and we were contacted very quickly to update us about the outage and what they were doing to fix it. 10/10 for communication and solving the issue.

Excellent

I had 2 guys come out from UKPN today and I have to say, they were friendly, helpful and extremely professional. They provided the utmost care and excellent expertise, ensuring everything was fixed and back up and running within an hour. I cannot fault them at all, they were brilliant.
