The usual call-outs
The calls that come in from Billingshurst fall into a few familiar shapes. A fuse board that trips at night and will not stay reset. A socket that has started to smell hot. Lights out across half a house while the other half still works. What differs from place to place is the housing, and here that means older houses at the heart of the village with a good deal of newer building around them.
In the older housing, and in the properties scattered along the lanes outside the village, the pattern tends to be wiring extended over the years rather than replaced. A lighting circuit still on rubber insulated cable, a borrowed neutral between two switches, a fuse board carrying far more than it was ever built to. Those jobs often start as one dead circuit and end with a proper look at the earthing and bonding before anything goes back on.
Newer homes bring different calls. An RCD that drops the whole house because of one faulty appliance, a shower or an immersion heater failing, water finding its way into an outside socket or a garden light after a wet week. Plots in this part of the Weald often carry a garage, a workshop or another outbuilding fed by a buried cable, and those supplies suffer from digging, damp and age.

We specialise in finding and fixing electrical faults, tripping circuits and power loss. Faults are traced by systematic testing rather than guesswork, so the repair holds.
Learn more
Reliable installation and repair of internal and external lighting systems, from downlights and replacement fittings to garden, security and outside lighting.
Learn more
Full and partial electrical rewiring for houses and flats across the South East. Work can be staged room by room to limit disruption, and the property is left tested and certified.

Domestic and commercial car charger installations. We check the incoming supply can carry the load and position the unit to suit where you park.
Learn moreThe work itself
Not all of the work in and around Billingshurst is domestic. Landlords who need a certificate before a new tenancy, small commercial premises, workshops and people running a business from a garage or an outbuilding all call as well. A job might be a single circuit, a full rewire, a fuse board replacement, extra sockets, smoke and heat alarms, or a charging point on the drive. Quotes are free and the price is explained before work begins.
An emergency visit starts with making the situation safe, then finding the fault rather than guessing at it. That usually means isolating a circuit, testing it, and getting light and power back to the rest of the house while the damaged part stays off. In a property well outside the village, with no street lighting at the gate, getting most of the house working again is the first priority.
Out along the lanes it helps if you can tell us what you were doing when the power went, whether anything is still working, and where the fuse board sits, since here it is often in a garage or an outhouse rather than the hall. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We are Part P registered and fully insured, and the work is tested and certified.
Our process
You can call us at any hour, every day of the year, including bank holidays. In an emergency we ask what has stopped working and whether anything is hot, sparking or smelling of burning, and tell you what to switch off until we arrive. Booked work, from a landlord certificate to solar panels or EV charging, starts on the same call.
A Part P registered and fully insured engineer attends and makes the installation safe before anything else. Where there is a risk, the affected circuit or your fuse board is isolated, and anything that cannot be put right straight away is left in a safe condition. Planned work follows the same rule: circuits are proved dead before they are worked on.
We work from readings rather than assumptions. Testing can include continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance and RCD testing. The results show where a fault sits, what an installation can safely take, and whether a problem is inside your property or on the incoming supply, which belongs to the distribution network operator and is reported free on 105.
Before any repair or installation begins, we explain the options: what needs doing now, what can safely wait, and whether repair or replacement is the sensible choice. Quotes are free and carry no obligation, and nothing goes ahead until you agree the price, so there are no call-out surprises. If parts or a return visit are needed, we tell you then.
The same qualified engineers who took your call carry out the work, whether that is an overnight repair, a fuse board replacement, new lighting, smoke and heat alarms, a rewire, an inspection, solar panels or an EV charging point. It is done to the current wiring regulations, with cables and accessories fixed securely and neatly, and disruption kept to a minimum.
Before we leave, the work is tested and checked in operation, and the working area is left tidy. You are told plainly what was done and anything worth keeping an eye on. Certification is supplied where the work calls for it, so you hold a written record of what was carried out and the results of the testing.
