Fuse box tripping in a listed cottage off the High Street, or a barn losing power at the end of a long supply run? We answer 24/7, right across Battle.
WELCOME TO
Battle is a town built mostly of old buildings: timber-framed and tile-hung cottages near the Abbey, Georgian and Victorian frontages along the High Street, and farmhouses and converted barns on the lanes beyond. Wiring in properties like these is often decades older than the fittings on the wall. We find the fault, test the circuit and make it safe, day or night.
Most of our work in Battle starts with something old giving up: a rewireable fuse box with no RCD protection, a lighting circuit run in rubber-insulated cable that has gone brittle in a cold roof space, or a socket outlet on a spur that was added the last time a kitchen was changed. We test before we judge, and nothing is condemned on age alone.
Beyond the town, plots are larger and supplies run further. Garages, stables, workshops and garden offices are often fed by a submain that was laid years ago and never uprated, so it trips or gives poor voltage once a compressor, a kiln or a car charger is added.
Listed and conservation-area buildings need a lighter touch: cables routed through existing voids and under floorboards rather than chased into historic plaster or timber.
We will fault find and resolve the issue if it can be resolved on the spot. With 25 years experience in fault finding we believe there isn't an issue which we can't solve. Some issues may need a revisit due to the deterioration of the cabling, and where that happens we will always explain your options clearly before any further work begins.

All electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They should be inspected and tested at regular intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued use — commonly known as periodic inspection and testing.
We are proud members of the NICEIC Part P scheme. Our electrical work is tested to BS7671 regulations and complies with the latest British Standards and Building Regulations.
Old fuse boxes and rewireable fuses can't protect you the way a modern consumer unit does. We supply, install and certify RCD-protected boards, with every circuit tested and labelled before we leave.
FAQ'S
All of our services are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee and delivered by our qualified electricians.
Yes. Listed status and the town-centre conservation area limit chasing into historic plaster and timber and rule out casual surface trunking, so we route cables through existing voids, loft spaces and under floorboards, and keep accessories where openings already exist. Where consent is likely to be needed, we say so before anything is cut. All work is tested to BS 7671.
It is a familiar pattern in solid-walled period property, where outside lights, garage circuits and cables clipped to a cold external wall let moisture into the installation. The RCD tripping is the protection working. Insulation resistance testing circuit by circuit shows which one is leaking, so the repair is targeted rather than guessed at.
On the larger plots around Battle the submain to an outbuilding is often a long run that was sized for a light and a couple of sockets. Add a compressor, welder, kiln or car charger and you get voltage drop and protective devices operating. We measure the run and the loading, check the earthing arrangement at the outbuilding, and set out what the cable and protection would need to be.
Yes. Power Pros covers Bexhill-on-Sea, Hastings, Eastbourne and all of East Sussex, which includes the outlying lanes and farms around Battle as well as the town itself. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 0333 360 8583, and as a company we work to a 1 hour response standard.
You need a current EICR for the let property and remedial work where the report calls for it. In Battle's older housing the recurring findings are missing RCD protection, no earth at lighting points, bonding that predates current requirements, and additions made over the years without records. Every callout we attend includes a visual inspection and circuit testing, and work is tested to BS 7671.
Battle sits high on the Wealden ridge with a lot of mature trees around it, so autumn and winter gales bring the same pattern every year. Overhead lines take a battering, the supply blinks, and older circuits do not always come back cleanly afterwards.
In a cottage with solid walls and no cavity, damp finds its way to the places electricity dislikes: outside lights, garage circuits, cables clipped to a cold external wall. An RCD or RCBO that trips in wet weather is the protection doing its job rather than a nuisance to be ignored, and insulation testing shows which circuit is leaking.
Flats above the High Street shops and let cottages add another wrinkle, with shared supplies, meters in awkward cupboards and a landlord who needs both the fault fixed and the paperwork right. We work day or night, 24/7 across East Sussex.
…and if we can resolve and fix or (identify the issue if the circuit needs rewiring). The cost ends there.

BATTLE, EAST SUSSEX
Battle's centre is a conservation area, and the buildings along the High Street and around the Abbey gatehouse span roughly five centuries: timber frames with later brick and tile-hanging, Georgian shopfronts with living space above them, and Victorian terraces on the roads running off. Very few were designed with electricity in mind at all, so the wiring has been threaded in over generations, through voids, chimney breasts and under boards that have not been lifted in a long time.
That layering is why fault finding here is a job for testing rather than guesswork. In stock this old it is common to meet rubber or cloth-covered cable surviving on a lighting circuit, no circuit protective conductor at the switch drops, a rewireable board still in service, or two or three generations of extension hanging off one ring final circuit. Some of it remains perfectly serviceable; some of it is not, and only inspection and testing separates the two.
Step outside the town and the picture changes again. Properties on the lanes towards Netherfield, Catsfield and Whatlington sit on bigger plots with barns, stables and workshops, and many take an overhead supply with their own earth electrode rather than a supply earth. On that kind of installation, RCD protection and sound earthing and bonding are not a formality; they are what disconnects a fault quickly.
Add exposure on the ridge, tall trees close to the lines, and a steady number of holiday lets and rented cottages needing an EICR, and the local pattern is fairly clear.
