Emergency Callouts
You can count on us for any electrical emergency. We are extremely confident in our abilities and we solve 85% of all electrical emergency callouts on the spot.
Read moreOre is Victorian terraces and later housing on the high ground above Hastings. Whatever the age of the wiring, we test the circuits properly rather than guessing.
WELCOME TO
We attend electrical emergencies in Ore at any hour, seven days a week. Work is tested to BS 7671 and priced before it starts, with no call-out charge and the same rates evenings and weekends.
We take emergency calls in Ore at any hour. That usually means storage heater and immersion circuits failing 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.
Anything involving heat, scorching or a smell of burning is treated as an emergency and made safe on arrival, whatever time it is.
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 Ore. 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.
Ageing rewires with cables run under later loft insulation is the single biggest factor in the emergency work we do around Ore, and it shows up as storage heater and immersion circuits failing overnight more often than anything else.
The other half is age. Purpose-built flats and retirement blocks, chalet bungalows with rooms in the roof and sheltered and retirement schemes 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

ORE
Start with the buildings. Ore is Victorian terraces and later housing on the high ground above Hastings, and each phase of building brought its own wiring standards. Ageing rewires with cables run under later loft insulation is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to purpose-built flats and retirement blocks, chalet bungalows with rooms in the roof and sheltered and retirement schemes, 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.
Ownership complicates things too. Where a house has been split into flats, or an outbuilding brought into use, circuits get shared in ways nobody records, and a fault in one part can take out another.
What that produces, in practice, is storage heater and immersion circuits failing 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.
Where a fault turns out to be part of a bigger problem, we will say so, price the options and let you decide. Nothing gets replaced that does not need replacing.
We also cover Hastings, Fairlight and St Leonards-on-Sea.
