WELCOME TO
Eastbourne grew as a Victorian resort, and a great deal of that stock has since been divided into flats. That brings its own electrics: shared intakes and submains in hallway cupboards, off-peak boards in retirement apartments, period cable behind Edwardian plaster. Power Pros fault find, repair and test to BS 7671, with qualified electricians on call 24 hours a day.
Eastbourne's Victorian and Edwardian houses were wired long before modern protection existed, and many have been rewired only in patches. Rubber and lead-sheathed cable still turns up in loft spaces and under floors, older lighting circuits often have no earth at the switch, and rewireable fuse boxes are still working away in hall cupboards. Testing is what tells you which of that is safe to leave.
Where houses have been converted, the faults follow the conversion. Borrowed neutrals between flats, landlord's lighting and door entry circuits with no clear origin, submains sized for a single household, and bonding that stopped at the old lead water pipe are all common in subdivided property.
We trace a fault back to the circuit, repair what can be repaired on the visit, and quote anything further before we start.
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

Yes. Power Pros cover Eastbourne and all of East Sussex, 24 hours a day. Whether it is a seafront flat, a house in Old Town or a newer property at Sovereign Harbour, call 0333 360 8583 and we will arrange a visit.
Very often, yes. Off-peak heating in Eastbourne flats runs on its own circuits fed through a two-rate meter and a time switch, so a fault in the switching, the off-peak consumer unit or a heater itself leaves you with power but no heat. Testing the circuit and the switching shows which it is. Please don't open the board or a heater to look.
An EICR is a periodic inspection and test of the fixed installation, required for rented homes at least every five years. In converted houses we prove where each flat's submain originates and what sits on the landlord's supply, such as stair lighting, door entry and communal detection, because that is where responsibility usually gets blurred. You get a report with the observations coded, and anything beyond the callout is quoted and agreed first.
Salt air and driven rain are hard on outdoor accessories. Moisture tracking inside an enclosure, a corroded terminal or a perished gland lets current leak to earth, and the RCD does its job by tripping. Testing identifies the circuit and the accessory responsible instead of guessing, and replacing it with correctly rated, properly sealed equipment normally settles it.
Treat it as an emergency. If you can reach the main switch safely from the front of the board, turn it off, but don't open the board or remove any cover, and keep everyone away from it. Then call 0333 360 8583. Power Pros are available 24/7, and a burning smell around an older rewireable board or an overloaded circuit needs looking at straight away.
A power cut in an Eastbourne flat is rarely just an inconvenience. A great many homes here are heated and hot-watered by electricity alone, with night storage heaters on an off-peak circuit, immersion cylinders and electric showers, so a tripped board takes the heating with it.
The weather plays its part. The south-facing seafront and the exposed ground rising to Meads take salt-laden wind head on, and driven rain finds its way into outside lights, garden sockets, porch fittings and balcony wiring, which is why so many RCD trips arrive on the first wet, cold night of the season.
Power Pros are available around the clock across East Sussex, with the company's stated 1 hour response and callout prices fixed by time of day, so the cost is agreed before anyone sets off and any further work is quoted first.
…and if we can resolve and fix or (identify the issue if the circuit needs rewiring). The cost ends there.

ELECTRICIANS IN EASTBOURNE
Eastbourne was laid out as a planned resort from the 1850s: stucco villas, seafront mansion blocks and long Edwardian terraces behind them. Old Town is older again, with cottages that pre-date the resort and buildings sitting in conservation areas. Wiring in houses of that age is usually a record of several eras at once, with original runs still buried where nobody thought to remove them.
That shows up as mixed cable types on one installation, junction boxes above ceilings, and consumer units added to rather than replaced. Where a house has been split into flats, as a great many here have been, each dwelling is fed by a submain from a shared intake, with the landlord's stair lighting and door entry circuits somewhere in between.
Exposure varies street by street. The seafront takes salt-laden wind head on and the ground climbs steeply to Meads and the Downs, while the low, flat land towards Langney and the Willingdon Levels stays damp. Salt and water get into outdoor sockets, porch and balcony fittings, garage supplies and garden lighting.
Tenure matters as much as age. Eastbourne has a large stock of retirement and sheltered flats, guest houses and rented conversions, which means five-yearly landlord EICRs, communal boards, off-peak heating on two-rate meters, and equipment residents rely on. Sovereign Harbour is newer, but marina-side homes still corrode outside.
