The property mix
Hastings is a seaside town, and the property runs from the seafront up streets that climb steeply behind it. A row of older terraces, a large house divided into flats, a detached property set back from the road and a shop with living space above it can all sit within a few streets of one another. Each building asks something different of an electrician, and the fault behind one front door is rarely the fault behind the next.
In an older terrace the work often means tracing circuits that several sets of hands have extended and altered over the years. In a large seaside house divided into flats, the question is usually where one tenancy ends and another begins: which consumer unit feeds what, whether the tails and the earthing were dealt with properly at the time of the conversion, and whether the landlord supply is separated as it should be.
Larger and detached homes bring their own list, from garden and outbuilding supplies to EV charging points and heavier loads on a fuse board that was never sized for them. Shops, cafes and guest houses need lighting that holds up through trading hours and sockets that cope with real use. CK Electrical covers all of it across Hastings, domestic, commercial and industrial, at any hour of any 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.

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 moreHow the work runs
The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, nights, weekends and bank holidays included, so a fault at two in the morning is treated the same way as one at two in the afternoon. Calls come from homes, from holiday and rented accommodation along this stretch of coast, and from businesses. You are asked what has happened, what the installation is doing now and what has already been switched off.
An emergency visit starts with making the installation safe, then finding the cause rather than the symptom: a damaged cable, a failed accessory, an overloaded circuit, or water driven into an outside fitting by weather off the sea. You are told what has been found and what the options are before anything is committed to. Emergency work carries a call-out fee and then an hourly rate, both explained at the outset. Other work is quoted free, with no obligation.
Salt in the air is unkind to outdoor sockets, external lighting and anything else exposed to the weather, and an older installation may need its earthing and bonding brought up to standard before more is added to it. CK Electrical is a family run business covering Sussex and the South East of England, Part P registered and fully insured, working to the current wiring regulations with certification supplied for the work carried out.
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.
