Emergency Electrical Services We Cover in Brighton & Hove
From emergency fault finding to full consumer unit replacements — we handle it all, any time of day or night.
Tripped Consumer Unit
If your RCD or circuit breaker keeps tripping and won't stay on, there's usually an underlying fault causing it. We'll identify what's drawing the trip and fix the problem at the source rather than leaving you with a temporary workaround.
Burning Smell from Electrics
A burning or acrid smell coming from a socket, light fitting, or fuse board is one of the clearest signs of an electrical emergency. Switch off at the consumer unit if it's safe to do so and call us immediately. This one genuinely can't wait.
Power Loss — Full or Partial
Lost power to part of the house, or the whole property has gone dark? We deal with these calls regularly across Brighton. A partial outage often points to a specific circuit fault; total loss can be anything from a failed main fuse to a supply issue.
Sparking Sockets or Switches
A socket that sparks when you plug something in, or a switch that's visibly arcing, is a safety risk that needs looking at the same day. Don't keep using it and don't put it off — call us and we'll get to you quickly.
Emergency Fault Finding
Tracking down an electrical fault isn't always straightforward — especially in older Brighton properties where wiring may have been altered over the years. We use proper diagnostic equipment to find the root cause, not just reset the breaker and hope for the best.
Emergency Rewire
Sometimes a fault inspection reveals that the wiring itself is the problem — particularly in Brighton's older stock where rubber or aluminium wiring is still found. We can carry out partial or full rewires and have all work certified under Part P.
Landlord Electrical Certificates
Brighton has one of the highest concentrations of rented property in the country. We work with landlords, letting agents, and property managers across the city to carry out EICR inspections and issue compliance certificates.
EICR — Electrical Inspection
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a thorough check of your property's wiring, sockets, consumer unit, and earthing. Landlords in Brighton are legally required to hold a valid EICR, and we turn these around quickly.
Consumer Unit Replacement
Old fuse boards — especially those with rewirable fuses rather than modern MCBs and RCDs — don't provide adequate protection by today's standards. We replace consumer units with modern units, fully certified under Part P, usually in a single visit.
Why Choose Us
We're not a directory site or a national chain — we're a local electrical service with a track record across Brighton & Hove.
We actually get there quickly
A 30 to 90 minute response time isn't a marketing line — it's what we aim for on every call. In a city as densely populated as Brighton, electrical faults don't just cause inconvenience. Speed matters.
A year's guarantee on everything we do
Every job we carry out comes with a 1 year guarantee. If something we've worked on develops a fault within that period, we come back and sort it. No arguments, no call-out charge.
Properly qualified — not just registered
We're City & Guilds qualified, which is the recognised trade qualification for electricians in the UK. It means we've been trained and tested to a proper standard, not just self-assessed.
Part P approved
Part P is the building regulation that covers electrical work in homes. Being approved means we can certify and register notifiable work ourselves — you get the paperwork without involving a third party.
