WELCOME TO
Emergency electrical work in Sompting, West Sussex, carried out by Part P registered electricians and tested to BS 7671, at any hour of the day or night.
A fault in Sompting tends to announce itself as a single fault taking out lights and sockets together. 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.
Every job leaves with the circuit tested and the result recorded, and certification is issued to suit the work carried out.
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.

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 Sompting.
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 Sompting has an old village core with estate housing spreading up the hill, the electrical work here is not quite like the next town along. Electric heating and immersion circuits in all-electric flats and bungalows shapes what fails and how often.
Most calls come in as a single fault taking out lights and sockets together. 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.

SOMPTING
Any electrician working in Sompting learns the same thing quickly: Sompting has an old village core with estate housing spreading up the hill, and the wiring reflects it. Electric heating and immersion circuits in all-electric flats and bungalows is the factor that shapes most of the emergency work we are called out for.
The housing runs to post-war estate housing, purpose-built flats and retirement blocks and chalet bungalows with rooms in the roof, 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.
Empty periods do their own damage. Property that stands unused, whether between lets or over a winter, tends to hide small faults until everything is switched on at once.
In day-to-day terms it shows up as a single fault taking out lights and sockets together, 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.
For anything that is not an emergency, we book planned work around you, including inspections, board changes and remedial work following a report.
