Every property type
Hailsham is an old market town set a few miles inland from Eastbourne and the coast, with farmland and villages around it. The wiring reflects that. Older buildings around the centre, newer housing spread across the edges, flats made out of larger houses, and properties down country lanes standing well away from their neighbours. The fault you find in one of them is rarely the fault you find in the next.
In an older property near the centre the work is often earthing and bonding, a rewire taken in stages, or a fuse board added to so many times that nobody can trace what feeds what. Above the shops there are flats where the supply, the tails and the metering were settled when the building was divided, and those are the first things to look at. The same trade, carried out very differently.
Newer housing on the edge of the town brings different questions again: a consumer unit that keeps tripping, an EV charging point to add, or extra sockets and a circuit run out to a garden office. Shops, workshops and small industrial units need a fault traced with as little disruption to trading as possible. CK Electrical takes on all of it in Hailsham, domestic, commercial and industrial, with the phone answered 24 hours a day.
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.
Learn more
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.
Learn moreFault finding first
Most calls begin with something that has stopped working, or a fuse board that will not stay on. The first job is finding the cause rather than guessing at it: testing the circuit, isolating the faulty part and, where it can be done, restoring the rest. Beyond the town the fault often sits in a long run out to an outbuilding or a barn conversion, which has to be traced rather than assumed.
The people who call vary as much as the buildings. A homeowner with a dead circuit, a landlord who needs an EICR before a tenancy begins, a managing agent with a block to keep certified, a business that cannot trade with the power off. What they want is the same. To be told plainly what is wrong, to have the cost set out before the work begins, and to be given the certification at the end.
CK Electrical is family run and based in Sussex, and the villages and lanes around Hailsham are covered on the same terms as the town itself. The firm is Part P registered and fully insured, works to the current wiring regulations and supplies certification for the work carried out. Emergency calls carry a call-out charge and then an hourly rate, and both are explained to you before anything begins.
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.
