WELCOME TO
Bexhill-on-Sea mixes Edwardian seaside villas, inter-war bungalows and a large stock of retirement flats, and each of those ages electrically in a different way. Power Pros handle the emergencies that follow: lost power, a consumer unit that will not stay on, scorched socket outlets, failed lighting and dead storage heater circuits. NICEIC Part P scheme members, City and Guilds qualified, available 24/7.
Bexhill grew as a resort from the 1890s, and the Edwardian houses behind the seafront still hold traces of it: rubber and lead-sheathed cable left in ceiling voids, lighting circuits with no earth at the switch, and wooden-backed fuse boards behind a cupboard door. Testing shows what is still live and what was simply abandoned.
The inter-war bungalows at Collington, Cooden and Little Common were mostly rewired decades ago, so the wiring that fails now is 1960s to 1980s work: rewirable fuses, early plastic consumer units, cables buried under topped-up loft insulation, and old two-core submains out to a garage or garden room.
Flats and retirement blocks bring their own list, from landlord EICRs and communal lighting to off-peak circuits feeding storage heaters and immersion heaters, where a failed timeswitch or contactor is often mistaken for a failed heater.
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.

Plenty of Bexhill bungalows still have a consumer unit where one or two RCDs cover everything, so a single fault anywhere drops lights and socket outlets together. Testing identifies the circuit at fault, and moving the board onto RCBOs means only that circuit goes off next time.
On exposed frontages it does. Salt works into terminals, cable glands and metal enclosures, and moisture tracking through a corroded outdoor socket or garden light is a common cause of RCD tripping in wet, windy weather. Correctly rated weatherproof accessories, properly glanded, last far longer near the coast.
In England, privately rented homes need an EICR at least every five years and before a new tenancy starts. If you own a converted house, the communal lighting and landlord's circuits are your responsibility as well. Any remedial work is tested to BS 7671.
Often, yes. Homes here without gas run storage heaters and immersion heaters on an off-peak circuit, and when the timeswitch, contactor or off-peak supply fails, the heaters look broken when they are not. It is worth having the circuit tested before anyone replaces heaters.
Bexhill takes the weather straight off the Channel. Salt-laden air and driving rain work on anything mounted outside, so external socket outlets, garden lighting and metal enclosures corrode at the glands and terminals, and the first sign is often an RCD that trips every time it rains.
A bungalow is unforgiving when that happens. Everything is on one level and often on fewer circuits than a house, so a single fault can leave the whole place dark, and in a town with this many older residents that can also mean electric heating, a stairlift or a powered bed going off overnight.
In flats, the fault may sit inside your own consumer unit or out in the landlord's riser, and working out which is the first job. Every callout starts with a visual inspection and circuit testing, and 85% are resolved on the first visit.
…and if we can resolve and fix or (identify the issue if the circuit needs rewiring). The cost ends there.

BEXHILL-ON-SEA
Bexhill was built in bursts. The Edwardian resort came first, the terraces and villas around Egerton Park, Devonshire Road and Sea Road, many later divided into flats. Then came the inter-war spread west and north into Collington, Cooden, Little Common and Sidley, and with it the bungalows and chalet bungalows the town is known for, followed by post-war infill and purpose-built retirement blocks.
Each layer is wired differently. The Edwardian houses often keep lighting circuits with no circuit protective conductor, brittle rubber insulation and additions made across several decades. The bungalows usually carry a rewire from the 1960s or 1970s, now well past its best, with loft cables since buried under topped-up insulation. Conversions can have long tenant submains and shared circuits that were never cleanly split.
Then there is the sea. Frontages along De La Warr Parade, Marina and Cooden Drive take salt air all year, and it finds the weak points: outdoor accessories, external lighting, aerial earthing and the metal parts of anything fixed to a south-facing wall.
Tenure matters too. Bexhill has a lot of rented and leasehold property, from single flats to whole converted houses, and in England a landlord needs an EICR at least every five years and before a new tenancy. All work is tested to BS 7671.
