WELCOME TO
Our electricians cover Northiam and the rest of East Sussex 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays. Every callout begins with a visual inspection and proper circuit testing, so the cause is found rather than guessed at.
Electrical emergencies in Northiam rarely arrive at a convenient time, which is why we run a 24 hour electrician service. Calls are answered by someone who can send an engineer, not by an answering service.
On site we test rather than guess. Common work here includes RCD tripping, socket repairs and lighting faults, and anything involving heat or scorching is treated as urgent under burning smells and dangerous electrics.
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 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.
No. There is no call-out charge and our rates are the same evenings, weekends and bank holidays. The price is agreed with you before any work starts.
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.
Northiam is a large village above the Rother valley. Homes off the gas network running electric heating and immersion circuits is the background to a good deal of the work we do here, and a fault in an oast or barn conversion that drops the main house too is often the first sign that something needs attention.
Property in Northiam tends to include modern barn-style new builds and tile-hung and timber-framed cottages, and each generation of wiring fails in its own way. Older installations may have no protective conductor at the lighting points; later ones can put everything behind a single RCD.
Every callout starts with a visual inspection and circuit testing, and 85% are resolved on the first visit.

NORTHIAM
Northiam is a large village above the Rother valley. What that means underneath the plaster is a set of installations from very different decades. Homes off the gas network running electric heating and immersion circuits is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to modern barn-style new builds, tile-hung and timber-framed cottages and converted oast houses and barns, 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. Northiam 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.
Most of it arrives as a fault in an oast or barn conversion that drops the main house too. Once the circuits are tested the cause is usually obvious, and usually fixable there and then.
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 Bodiam, Rye and Robertsbridge.
