WELCOME TO
Electrical faults in Ditchling 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.
A fault in Ditchling tends to announce itself as lighting circuits with no protective conductor at the fittings. Occasionally it is louder than that: a bang, a smell, or a socket too hot to touch, and those are made safe the moment we arrive.
Either way the method is the same. electrical fault finding narrows it to a circuit, then to an accessory or a cable run, and the repair follows. Related work includes fuse box repairs and socket repairs.
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.
Usually. Around 85% of emergency callouts are resolved on the spot because our vans carry the parts for the faults we see most often around Ditchling. Where a part must be ordered we make the installation safe and tell you exactly what happens next.
Often it is. Homes without gas run heaters and immersions on an off-peak circuit, and when a timeswitch, contactor or the off-peak supply fails the heaters look broken when they are not. Worth testing the circuit before replacing anything.
No. Where we have had to lift a board, cut a chase or open a ceiling, we make good as far as the electrical work allows and clear up before we leave.
Yes. If the supply into the property is sound then the fault is inside the installation, and that is exactly what electrical fault finding is for. We establish which side of the cut-out the problem sits on.
An older board is not automatically unlawful, but many lack RCD protection and cannot be repaired with parts still in production. We will tell you whether repair is realistic or whether consumer unit replacement makes more sense.
Because Ditchling is an old village at the foot of the Downs with many period buildings, the electrical work here is not quite like the next town along. Listed fabric that limits where new cable can reasonably be run shapes what fails and how often.
Most calls come in as lighting circuits with no protective conductor at the fittings. A few arrive as something more urgent, a burning smell or scorch marks at an accessory, and those are made safe immediately.
Whatever the cause, the installation is left safe and the work is tested before we leave.
…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.

DITCHLING
Any electrician working in Ditchling learns the same thing quickly: Ditchling is an old village at the foot of the Downs with many period buildings, and the wiring reflects it. Listed fabric that limits where new cable can reasonably be run is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to agricultural buildings brought into domestic use, flint and brick cottages, many of them listed and converted barns and outbuildings on long submains, 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. Ditchling 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.
In day-to-day terms it shows up as lighting circuits with no protective conductor at the fittings, which is exactly the kind of fault proper testing is designed to find.
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 Hassocks, Plumpton and Burgess Hill.
