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.
Seaford runs from exposed seafront flats to whole streets of post-war bungalows, and each throws up its own faults. Dead sockets, tripping RCDs, burning smells: we answer 24/7.
WELCOME TO
Seaford's housing is unusual for East Sussex: streets of single-storey bungalows behind a Victorian and inter-war core, and flats that take the full weight of the weather off the Channel. Power Pros cover the lot, from fault finding and fuse box work to socket and lighting repairs and EICRs, 24 hours a day, with every callout including a visual inspection and circuit testing.
Bungalows dominate large parts of Seaford, and a bungalow's wiring lives in the loft. Decades of insulation top-ups have left cables buried in mineral wool, where they run warmer than the designer intended, and 1950s and 60s installations still turn up with rubber-insulated cable and a rewireable fuse box.
Along the front and in the older converted houses inland the pattern changes: flats on electric-only heating, off-peak circuits feeding storage heaters, and immersion heaters that trip an RCD the moment the element fails.
Then there is the outside work: garden lighting, garage and shed supplies, security lights on exposed walls. We test what is there, tell you plainly what the results show, and quote anything beyond the callout 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. Seaford and the villages around it sit inside our East Sussex coverage, from the Esplanade and the old town out to East Blatchington, Bishopstone and the Chyngton side. We are on call 24/7 on 0333 360 8583.
Not automatically, but it is worth testing. A rewireable fuse box in a 1950s or 60s bungalow usually means little or no RCD protection, and the loft wiring it feeds is often the original cable. An EICR shows what condition the installation is genuinely in and whether a modern consumer unit with RCBOs is the sensible next step.
Salt. Airborne salt on an exposed coast attacks screws, glands, lamp bodies and earth terminations, so an outdoor accessory that would last years inland can start letting water in far sooner here. Please do not open outdoor fittings yourself. We test the circuit, and where equipment has corroded we replace it with properly rated weatherproof accessories and retest to BS 7671.
The fixed installation inside the flat, inspected and tested at least every five years and at the start of a new tenancy, with a copy of the report given to your tenants. In converted houses and purpose-built blocks the awkward part is usually the communal side, such as the landlord's supply, stair lighting and shared circuits, so it is worth agreeing with the freeholder or managing agent what is in scope before we test.
It can be either. On the coast a storm can disturb the incoming supply, which is the network operator's responsibility rather than ours. Wind-driven rain also gets into external lights, aerial amplifiers and outbuilding supplies and trips the RCD indoors. Testing separates the two quickly, and where the fault is in the installation, around 85% of our emergency callouts are resolved on the first visit.
Weather is the trigger for a lot of Seaford emergencies. A south-westerly driving straight onto the Esplanade pushes salt spray and rain into anything mounted on an outside wall, and water in an external socket or a corroded security light will take the RCD out and leave half the house dark.
Age is the other trigger. In a bungalow built before the 1970s there may be no RCD protection at all, so a failed appliance blows a fuse rather than tripping cleanly, and a household where somebody is elderly or unwell cannot sit in the dark waiting until Monday.
We work 24/7 across East Sussex, with a 1 hour response as our standard, and around 85% of emergency callouts are resolved on the first visit. Call 0333 360 8583.

SEAFORD, EAST SUSSEX
Seaford grew in three pushes, and you can read all of them in the wiring. Victorian and Edwardian houses around the old town and the Steyne, many since split into flats; inter-war streets climbing inland; and then the post-war bungalows that fill Chyngton, Sutton and the roads behind Seaford Head.
Each layer ages differently. Period houses can still hide rubber or lead-sheathed cable on a spur nobody has touched in decades, and conversions leave circuits arranged in ways the original builder never intended. Bungalows are simpler, but almost the whole installation sits in a cold loft, with long runs lying under years of added insulation. Earthing and bonding is where testing most often finds work in both.
Then there is the sea. Nothing stands between the Esplanade and the Channel but a shingle bank, and a winter south-westerly throws spray clean over the wall. Salt does not stop at the front either; it works quietly at every metal part outdoors, from enclosure screws and glands to lamp bodies and the earth connection at a garden light.
Tenure matters as well. Retirement blocks, sheltered flats and rented conversions all need a current EICR, and many of those flats are heated electrically, so off-peak circuits, storage heaters and immersion heaters carry loads the rest of the town simply does not have.
