Emergency Electrical Services We Cover in Hastings & St Leonards
From emergency fault finding to full consumer unit replacements — we handle it all, any time of day or night.
Emergency Fault Finding
Tracking down an electrical fault in Hastings often means dealing with a wide range of property ages — from Victorian terraces in the Old Town to 1970s estates and modern new-builds along the seafront. We use proper diagnostic equipment to find the root cause, not just reset the breaker and leave.
Tripped Consumer Unit
If your RCD or circuit breaker keeps tripping and won't hold, there's an underlying fault causing it. We identify what's causing the trip and fix it properly — whether you're in a flat above the seafront or a house up in the hills of Ore or Hollington.
Power Loss — Full or Partial
Lost power to part of the house, or the whole property has gone dark? We cover these calls regularly across Hastings and St Leonards. Partial outages often point to a specific circuit fault; total loss can range from a failed main fuse to a supply problem from the network.
Sparking Sockets or Switches
A socket that sparks on contact or a switch that visibly arcs is a safety risk that needs attention the same day. Don't keep using it — call us and we'll get an engineer to you in Hastings quickly, day or night.
Burning Smell from Electrics
A burning or acrid smell from a socket, light fitting, or fuse board is one of the clearest signs of a serious electrical fault. Switch off at the consumer unit if it's safe to do so and call immediately. This cannot wait until morning.
Emergency Rewire
Hastings has a significant stock of older housing — particularly around the Old Town, Castle Hill Road, and the hillside streets above St Leonards — where original wiring is still in use. When a fault reveals the wiring itself is the issue, we carry out partial or full rewires certified under Part P.
EICR — Electrical Inspection
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a thorough check of your wiring, sockets, consumer unit, and earthing. With a substantial rental sector across Hastings and St Leonards, landlords here rely on us to turn these around quickly and without hassle.
Consumer Unit Replacement
Old fuse boards with rewirable fuses rather than modern MCBs and RCDs don't provide adequate protection. We replace them with modern consumer units fully certified under Part P, usually completed in a single visit regardless of where in Hastings you are.
Landlord Electrical Certificates
Hastings has a large private rental sector — converted Victorian properties, seaside flat conversions, HMOs near the town centre. We work directly with landlords and letting agents to carry out EICR inspections and issue certificates, often at short notice.

Every job we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If something we've worked on develops a fault within that period, we return and sort it — no arguments, no call-out charge.
