The housing mix
Burgess Hill is a Mid Sussex commuter town that has grown a great deal, so the housing runs from older cottages and terraces near the middle to large post war and newer estates on the edges. That mix shows up in the wiring. One house has a modern board with an RCBO on every circuit, the next still has rewireable fuses, main bonding that was never brought up to date and sockets fed off a spur added years ago.
Plenty of the work is outside the house as well. Estate housing tends to come with a garage and a garden, and out towards the villages there are workshops, stables and stores. These are fed by a submain off the main board, run underground or clipped along a fence, and a fault on that leg brings us out often. Water gets into a joint, a spade catches a buried cable, and an RCD then will not stay in.
Where a supply is taken out to a metal framed workshop or a garden building, the earthing arrangement and the bonding matter as much as the cable itself, so both get checked on every outbuilding we attend. Where the service comes in overhead rather than underground, weather does more of the damage, and the tails and the board can sit somewhere awkward. We work back along a run in sections rather than guessing at the board.

Learn moreDay and night
The calls come from a mix of people: homeowners on the newer estates and in the older streets, landlords with tenanted property who need an EICR before a change of tenancy, and small firms in the light industrial and business units around Burgess Hill. CK Electrical is family run and locally based, and domestic, commercial and industrial work is all treated the same way, whether it is a dead socket circuit or a fault on a three phase supply.
The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, bank holidays included. On an emergency we ask what has happened and what you have already tried, then the first job on site is to find the fault, isolate it and make the installation safe, so that the rest of the property can go back on where that is possible. The call out fee and the hourly rate are explained before any work starts.
On the newer estates a driveway or a garage is common, and that is often where a request for an EV charging point begins. Quotes are free and carry no obligation, and the price is explained before anything starts, whether it is a fuse board replacement, a rewire, smoke and heat alarms, extra sockets or solar panels. CK Electrical is Part P registered and fully insured, and work is done to the current wiring regulations with certification supplied.
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.
