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.
From the Victorian houses climbing the High Street to the big estates at Ridgewood and Manor Park, and the lanes running out towards the Ashdown Forest, we answer electrical emergencies across Uckfield around the clock.
WELCOME TO
Uckfield is three towns electrically: a Victorian centre with flats above the shops, a wide ring of estates built from the 1960s onwards, and farmhouses and barn conversions out in the Wealden countryside. Power Pros work on all three, from a tripping RCD in an estate semi to a dead submain feeding a rural workshop. NICEIC Part P scheme members, City and Guilds qualified, 24/7.
Most of Uckfield went up between the 1960s and the 1990s, so a great many boards here are at the age where rewireable fuses, no RCD protection and later kitchen or bathroom work all sit on the same tired installation.
In the older centre it is different work: rubber or lead-sheathed cable still hiding above ceilings, borrowed neutrals between rooms, and flats over the High Street shops where a landlord needs a proper EICR rather than a quick look.
Out towards Framfield, Buxted and the forest edge, the jobs are long submain runs to barns and workshops, TT earthing that depends on an electrode, and overhead supplies that suffer in storms. Every callout includes a visual inspection and circuit testing, so what we find is measured rather than guessed.
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.

Yes. We cover the whole of East Sussex, so Buxted, Framfield, Isfield, Little Horsted and the lanes in between are treated exactly the same as the High Street and the estates. The line is answered 24/7 on 0333 360 8583.
Leave everything switched off and do not touch sockets, accessories or the consumer unit. Once the water has gone, the cable, accessories and board all need testing before anything goes back into use, insulation resistance in particular, because a circuit that has been submerged can look completely normal and still be unsafe. Every callout includes a visual inspection and circuit testing.
Not automatically, and age on its own is not a fault. An EICR measures it properly: earthing and bonding, insulation resistance, whether the circuits have RCD protection, and whether the ring final circuits are still continuous. If the results support a change, a modern board with RCBOs means one fault takes out one circuit rather than the whole house.
Rented homes in England need a satisfactory EICR at least every five years, and at a change of tenancy once the previous one has expired. Flats over shops are worth booking with time in hand: shared supplies, meters in awkward cupboards and circuits that have wandered between units over the decades all take longer to trace than a straightforward house.
If neighbouring properties are dark too, it is almost certainly a network fault. Call 105, which is free, and the distribution operator handles it. If only your property has lost supply, the fault is on your side of the cut-out and that is ours to find. Either way, please do not open the meter cupboard or the service head. We answer 24/7 and can test it safely.
Uckfield's emergencies tend to follow the weather. The town sits either side of the River Uck, and the low ground at the bottom of the High Street and around Bellbrook has taken water before; anything that has been wet needs insulation testing before it goes back into service.
Higher up and out in the lanes, it is wind and trees on overhead lines, water finding its way into an outside socket or a garage supply, and a whole house going dark because one damp circuit takes the main switch with it.
This is a commuter town, so faults are often found at the end of the day rather than the start of it. We answer 24/7, work to BS 7671, and resolve 85% of emergency callouts on the first visit.
…and if we can resolve and fix or (identify the issue if the circuit needs rewiring). The cost ends there.

UCKFIELD, EAST SUSSEX
Uckfield's centre is the oldest part of it: brick and tile-hung Victorian houses climbing the hill, a few much older timber-framed buildings near the bridge, and a conservation area that limits how much chasing and channelling is sensible. In houses of that age we still find rubber or lead-sheathed cable left above ceilings, and lighting circuits with no protective conductor at the switch.
Around it sits the estate housing that gives the town its shape, built from the 1960s onwards. Each was wired to the standards of its decade, so a board here might be a rewireable fuse box with no RCD or an early split-load unit protecting only half the circuits. Add EV chargers, induction hobs and garden offices and the original design gets stretched.
The River Uck runs through the middle of the town and the low ground either side of it floods. Where water has been through a ground floor, the socket outlets, the boiler controls and sometimes the consumer unit are all in the firing line, and cable that has been submerged can look fine while failing an insulation resistance test.
Head out towards Buxted, Framfield and the forest and it changes again: overhead supplies exposed to wind and trees, long runs to stables, barns and workshops, and TT earthing that leans on an electrode and the RCD above it. In the centre, flats above the shops and a steady rental market keep EICRs in demand.
