Emergency Electrical Services We Cover in Lewes
From urgent fault finding to consumer unit replacements — we cover it all, any time of day or night across Lewes and the surrounding area.
Tripped Consumer Unit
A circuit breaker or RCD that keeps tripping back off usually means there's a genuine underlying fault. We'll find the problem and fix it properly — whether it's a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, or an overloaded circuit — rather than leaving you with a temporary workaround.
Burning Smell from Electrics
A burning or plastic smell coming from a socket, ceiling rose, or consumer unit is one of the clearest signs of a serious electrical fault. If it's safe to do so, switch off at the fuse board and call us immediately. This is genuinely urgent.
Power Loss — Full or Partial
Lost power to one room or the whole property? We respond to these calls across Lewes regularly. Partial outages often trace back to a single circuit fault; total power loss can be anything from a failed main fuse to a network supply issue. We'll diagnose it fast.
Sparking Sockets or Switches
A socket that sparks when you plug something in, or a switch that's visibly arcing, is a genuine safety hazard. Stop using it and call us — we'll attend the same day and get it sorted safely. This isn't something to put off.
Emergency Fault Finding
Electrical faults in Lewes properties are rarely straightforward — particularly in the town's older terraced houses, converted buildings, and period homes near the castle. We use proper diagnostic equipment to trace the root cause quickly and correctly, not just flip a breaker and hope for the best.
Emergency Rewire
Many properties in Lewes still have ageing wiring — rubber-insulated cable, aluminium wiring, or single-core installations that are decades past their safe lifespan. When a fault inspection reveals wiring is the problem, we carry out partial or full rewires, certified under Part P.
Landlord Electrical Certificates
Lewes has a strong rental market, with a mix of Victorian terraces, converted flats near the town centre, and properties in surrounding villages. We work with landlords, letting agents, and property managers to carry out EICR inspections and issue compliance certificates efficiently.
EICR — Electrical Inspection
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a thorough check of your property's wiring, sockets, earthing, and consumer unit. Landlords in Lewes are legally required to hold a valid EICR. We carry out inspections at short notice and issue the written report promptly.
Consumer Unit Replacement
Old fuse boards with rewirable fuses or early MCBs don't offer the level of protection required by modern standards. We replace them with modern consumer units fitted with RCDs and MCBs, fully certified under Part P — usually completed in a single visit.
Why Choose Us
We're not a directory or a national call centre — we're a local electrical service with a proven track record across Lewes and East Sussex.
We get to you quickly — even in a rural area
Lewes sits between Brighton and Eastbourne, with villages spreading out in every direction. Our engineers are positioned across the area so we can reach Lewes town centre and the surrounding villages without lengthy waits. A 30 to 90 minute response is our target on every call.
A full year's guarantee on all work
Every repair, installation, and inspection we carry out comes backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If anything we've worked on develops a fault within that period, we return and fix it — no call-out charge, no fuss.
Genuinely qualified, not just registered
Our electricians hold City & Guilds qualifications — the recognised standard for trained electricians in the UK. This matters for older properties where faults can be more complex and wiring less predictable. You get engineers who know what they're doing.
Part P approved — paperwork included
Part P is the building regulation that governs electrical work in domestic properties. Being approved means we self-certify and register notifiable work, so you receive the correct documentation without any third-party involvement.
