WELCOME TO
Whether it is a tripping board, a dead socket or a smell of burning, we attend in Herstmonceux day or night. Our electricians are Part P registered and City & Guilds qualified, and every job is tested before we leave.
We take emergency calls in Herstmonceux at any hour. That usually means storage heaters that fail to charge overnight, 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.
Prices are agreed before work starts, there is no call-out charge, and the rate is the same at night and at weekends.
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

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 Herstmonceux.
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.
Switch that circuit off at the board, stop using it and call us. Heat and smell mean a connection is failing, which is the kind of job covered under burning smells and dangerous electrics, and we treat it as an emergency.
Outbuildings, oasts and annexes fed by submains that were never designed for today's loads is the single biggest factor in the emergency work we do around Herstmonceux, and it shows up as storage heaters that fail to charge overnight more often than anything else.
The other half is age. Post-war infill around the older core, farmhouses with generations of additions and modern barn-style new builds 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
GPosted onI had no power in half of my house at night time. The engineer came within 20 mins, found the fault quickly and had everything back on the same visit. Read more
GPosted onA Christmas miracle — they came over on Christmas Eve as our cooker kept shorting the circuit. Fixed it in time for dinner. Couldn't recommend more. Read more

HERSTMONCEUX
Start with the buildings. Herstmonceux is known for its castle and the old observatory domes, and each phase of building brought its own wiring standards. Outbuildings, oasts and annexes fed by submains that were never designed for today's loads is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to post-war infill around the older core, farmhouses with generations of additions and modern barn-style new builds, 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.
Age is only half of it. The other half is load: kitchens, showers and heating that draw far more than the original design allowed for, on circuits that were never uprated to match.
What that produces, in practice, is storage heaters that fail to charge overnight. 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.
We would always rather look at something early. A flickering light or a socket that feels warm is a cheap visit now and an expensive one later.
