WELCOME TO
We attend electrical emergencies in Selsey 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.
A fault in Selsey tends to announce itself as an RCD that trips whenever the weather turns wet and windy. Occasionally it is louder than that: a bang, a smell, or a socket too hot to touch, and those are made safe the moment we arrive.
Either way the method is the same. electrical fault finding narrows it to a circuit, then to an accessory or a cable run, and the repair follows. Related work includes fuse box repairs and socket repairs.
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.
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 Selsey.
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.
Because Selsey is a town out on the peninsula, exposed on three sides, the electrical work here is not quite like the next town along. A large rented and holiday stock where nobody notices a fault until it fails completely shapes what fails and how often.
Most calls come in as an RCD that trips whenever the weather turns wet and windy. A few arrive as something more urgent, a burning smell or scorch marks at an accessory, and those are made safe immediately.
Whatever the cause, the installation is left safe and the work is tested before we leave.
…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.

SELSEY
Any electrician working in Selsey learns the same thing quickly: Selsey is a town out on the peninsula, exposed on three sides, and the wiring reflects it. A large rented and holiday stock where nobody notices a fault until it fails completely is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to post-war and later estates inland, converted houses in multiple occupation and retirement flats on electric heating, 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.
In day-to-day terms it shows up as an RCD that trips whenever the weather turns wet and windy, which is exactly the kind of fault proper testing is designed to find.
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 East Wittering, Pagham and Chichester.
