WELCOME TO
Electrical faults in Fairlight 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 take emergency calls in Fairlight at any hour. That usually means corroded outdoor sockets and garden lighting tripping the board, a circuit gone dead, or something that smells or looks wrong and needs making safe quickly.
The work starts the same way every time: a visual inspection, then electrical fault finding with proper test instruments to establish which circuit is at fault and why. From there we can usually repair on the spot, whether that is socket repairs, lighting faults or work at the board.
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.

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 Fairlight.
Most are done within a couple of hours, including testing. Tracing an intermittent fault takes longer, because it has to be proved rather than assumed.
Yes. Long submains out to garages, workshops and annexes are a common source of faults, especially where the cable is buried or has been extended over the years. We test the run and repair or replace as needed.
A board that trips is doing its job. It is usually a faulty appliance, water where it should not be, or a damaged cable. Testing identifies the circuit, and where an old board puts everything on one RCD, moving to RCBOs means only the faulty circuit goes off next time. See RCD tripping.
We make it safe, explain what we have found and give you the options in writing. That might be a partial rewire of one circuit rather than the whole property, or consumer unit replacement where the board is the weak point.
Outdoor supplies to sheds, summer houses and garden lighting on open plots is the single biggest factor in the emergency work we do around Fairlight, and it shows up as corroded outdoor sockets and garden lighting tripping the board more often than anything else.
The other half is age. Properties extended a room at a time, bungalows and chalet bungalows and holiday lets and second homes left empty for long spells sit side by side here, and the wiring in each behaves differently under load.
We test first, explain what we find, then repair. Most jobs are finished on the first visit.
…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

FAIRLIGHT
Start with the buildings. Fairlight is clifftop housing east of Hastings, fully exposed to the weather, and each phase of building brought its own wiring standards. Outdoor supplies to sheds, summer houses and garden lighting on open plots is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to properties extended a room at a time, bungalows and chalet bungalows and holiday lets and second homes left empty for long spells, 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. Fairlight 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 corroded outdoor sockets and garden lighting tripping the board. 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 Hastings, Pett and Winchelsea.
