Emergency Disconnection

A mate of mine owns an old mill premises. He does not know the supplier or MPAN . The previous tennant will not give him access. the electrics is dangerous (raining in etc). I advised him to ring 105 where I hope they can do or advise on an emergency disconnection . Was I correct about this number? Thanks

  • 105 is the emergency telephone number in Mongolia. It is also a single non-emergency number in the United Kingdom[1] and New Zealand.[2] In the United Kingdom, it connects to the caller's local distribution network operator, and is primarily marketed for reporting power cuts. In New Zealand, it is used to contact the police in general non-emergency situations.

  • Can you do a supplier search on your local DNO website, then progress to a MPAN search?

    With WPD you start on their home page towards the bottom.

  • It can be quite hard to get the MPAN no without knowing the name of the bill payer or supplier- I have had this problem when I needed a new token for a pre-pay meter. From memory it involved the citizens advice folk on 0345 404 0506 to find the supplier, and then calling them to associate the right meter with the flat. (it was a right mess and an hour wasted, as I reckon someone had cross linked the accounts of 2 flats with the same adress at some past point)

    however 105 is definitely right for ' my supply cable is on fire ' so is probably a good start -at worst they will re-direct.

  • Thanks everybody for your comments.

    I`ll let you know how he went on when I find out. It may be sometime and I might be forced to limit some info for legal reasons
