WELCOME TO
Electrical faults in Copthorne are answered at any hour by an engineer with a stocked van, so the common causes are repaired there and then rather than booked in for another day.
We work throughout Copthorne and the surrounding area, day and night. Whether the whole property has gone dark or a single circuit has dropped out, the approach is the same: isolate, test, explain, repair.
That covers power loss and tripping, fuse box repairs and, for landlords and buyers, EICR safety certificates where a full picture of the installation is needed.
Where a repair is a temporary measure rather than a fix, we say so plainly and set out what a permanent solution would involve.
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.

Read moreTripping circuits, dead sockets and faults that come and go are traced with proper test equipment rather than guesswork. We isolate the cause, explain what we have found and put it right.
Read moreLost power across the whole property, or just part of it? We check whether the fault sits in your installation or the incoming supply, make everything safe and get your lights and sockets back on.
Read moreAll 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.
Read moreWe are proud to be Part P registered. Our electrical work is tested to BS7671 regulations and complies with the latest British Standards and Building Regulations.

FAQ'S
All of our services are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee and delivered by our qualified electricians.
As fast as the road allows, and we prioritise anything dangerous such as burning smells, scorching or exposed conductors. Call 0333 360 8583 and we will tell you honestly when an engineer can reach Copthorne.
Yes. Flickering usually means a loose connection somewhere, and loose connections generate heat. It is much cheaper to find it early than after it has burnt an accessory out. See lighting faults.
Treat it as urgent if there is any heat, discolouration or smell at the board or an accessory. Otherwise it normally means one circuit has failed, and we can trace it with electrical fault finding.
For an emergency, someone needs to let us in and show us what happened. After that you are welcome to leave us to it. We will walk you through what we found before we go.
Yes. Part P registered and City & Guilds qualified, insured to £2,000,000, with all work carried out and tested to BS 7671.
In Copthorne the pattern is fairly consistent: cables buried under decades of topped-up loft insulation, and wiring added to over decades rather than replaced in one go.
The result is lighting circuits with no protective conductor at the fittings, or a circuit that works until it rains. We find which by testing, not guesswork, and we tell you what we have found before any work starts.
Where a repair is not enough we set out the options clearly, whether that is consumer unit replacement or targeted remedial work.
…and if we can resolve and fix or (identify the issue if the circuit needs rewiring). The cost ends there.
We have structured our pricing in 4 easy categories, so the customer and ourselves understand the costs involved.

TESTIMONIALS
Power Pros came out at short notice, on a Sunday, as it was getting dark & cold, to trace a mains fault. Brilliant service from start to finish. Read more

COPTHORNE
Start with the buildings. Copthorne sits on the Surrey border with a lot of later housing, and each phase of building brought its own wiring standards. Cables buried under decades of topped-up loft insulation is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to recent estates on a modern spec, Victorian and Edwardian houses near the station and inter-war semis, and each was wired to the standards of its day. Additions made since, from extensions to garden supplies, are often where the weak point turns out to be.
Tenure matters as much as age. Copthorne has its share of rented and leasehold property, and in those the fault can sit either in your own consumer unit or in a landlord circuit, so the first job is often working out which side of the line it is on.
What that produces, in practice, is lighting circuits with no protective conductor at the fittings. It is rarely mysterious once the circuits are tested, and it is usually repairable on the first visit.
Landlords have a further duty: in England a rented home needs an EICR at least every five years and before a new tenancy. All work is tested to BS 7671.
Businesses get the same cover as households, including out-of-hours attendance so a fault does not cost a day of trading.
We also cover Crawley Down, Crawley and East Grinstead.
