Older wiring
A town on this coast holds a wide spread of housing ages, and age shows up in the wiring. Rubber insulation goes brittle and cracks as soon as a cable is moved. Lighting circuits put in before the current regulations often have no protective conductor at the roses or the switches. Salt in the air is hard on external fittings, garden supplies and outbuildings. We test before we disturb anything.
Older houses near the sea have usually been altered more than once. A rear extension, a loft conversion, a kitchen moved from one side of the building to the other. Each change leaves cable behind it, and very little of it was ever recorded. Where a large house has been divided into flats and lets, as often happens in a seaside town, there is another layer of wiring nobody wrote down.
That is the work we are called out to here at night and at weekends: a circuit that keeps tripping, a burning smell, a section of the house with no power. We isolate the fault, make the installation safe and explain what we have found. Where a repair holds, we say so. Where a circuit has reached the end of its life, we tell you that rather than patching it.
What we do
24/7Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a fast response across the South East. We make the installation safe first, then explain the repair and the cost before any work starts.
Learn more
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.
Learn more
New fuse boards fitted, also known as fuse boxes, consumer units or consumer boards. A modern board adds RCD protection and makes future faults far easier to isolate.
Learn more
Supply, installation and testing of mains powered smoke and heat alarms, including interlinked systems for rented properties and new installations.
Learn more
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for rented and residential premises throughout the South East. We can arrange access with your tenants directly and return the report promptly.

Our in-house team can design, install, commission and maintain Solar PV installations of all sizes, covering the whole job from roof survey through to inverter and battery set-up.
Learn more
Domestic and commercial car charger installations. We check the incoming supply can carry the load and position the unit to suit where you park.

Where the job is in a home you are living in, that shapes how we work. We keep disruption to the fabric down, lifting boards and taking the routes the building already gives us rather than chasing walls that do not need it. In a house with lath and plaster or old timber floors, that also protects finishes which are awkward to make good afterwards.
The work in Bognor Regis is mixed. Owners who have taken on a house that needs more than the survey suggested. Landlords wanting an EICR and the remedial work finished before a tenancy starts. Holiday lets between changeovers. Businesses along the front, where weather and salt reach outdoor sockets, signage and external lighting. Whatever the property, the order is the same: test, report, then agree what needs doing.
Work often comes in stages rather than all at once. A fuse board replacement with RCBO protection, then earthing and bonding brought up to standard, then lighting circuits rewired when the decorating allows. Quotes are free and carry no obligation, the cost is explained before we start, and certification is supplied for the work we complete. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
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.
