The property mix
Haywards Heath is a Mid Sussex commuter town with villages and open country around it, and the work here reflects that spread. One call is a flat above a shop in the centre, the next a family house on a residential street, the next a property on the edge of town with outbuildings and external circuits. We arrive expecting to work out what is in front of us rather than assuming what the fault will be.
In older terraced and semi detached housing the fault is often in wiring that has been extended and altered over many years, with junctions buried where nobody would think to look. In a converted flat the first question is usually where one tenancy ends and the next begins: which consumer unit feeds what, whether the landlord supply is separate, and where the earthing and main bonding actually terminate. Both need patience rather than guesswork.
Larger detached properties bring a different set of jobs: more circuits, garden and driveway lighting, a garage or outbuilding supply, electric heating, an EV charging point to add. Shops, offices and small business units bring three phase supplies, distribution boards, emergency lighting and equipment that has to keep running. We work on domestic, commercial and industrial installations, and the same 24 hour cover applies in the town and out to Lindfield, Cuckfield and the villages beyond.
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.

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 moreHow a call out runs
The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, nights, weekends and bank holidays included. When you call we ask what has actually happened: whether the whole property is dead, whether one circuit keeps tripping, whether there is a burning smell or water involved. That tells us what to bring, and where it is safe to do so we can talk you through switching off at the fuse board in the meantime.
On site the first job is nearly always fault finding rather than swapping parts. We isolate, test and narrow the fault down to a circuit, then to a point on that circuit. Sometimes it is a failed appliance, sometimes water in an outside light or a garden supply, sometimes a nail through a cable. You are told what we have found and what the repair will cost before we start it.
Plenty of the work that follows is not an emergency. A night call out often turns into a fuse board replacement, a rewire in stages, extra sockets, smoke and heat alarms, or an EICR for a landlord letting a flat in Haywards Heath. Emergency work carries a call out fee then an hourly rate, and quotes are free. CK Electrical is family run and based in Sussex, Part P registered and fully insured, and certification is 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.
