Outdoor circuits
Horsham is a market town with open countryside close by, and that shows up in the electrical work. A good deal of what we are called out to here sits outside the walls of the house: garden lighting, a supply to an outbuilding, a socket by the back door, a cable run to a shed or a garden office. Weather reaches all of it, and weather is what eventually finds the weak point.
Damp is patient. It works into a light fitting through a tired seal, sits in the bottom of an enclosure that was never rated for the position it is in, and corrodes terminals until a circuit starts tripping in wet weather. Outdoor faults are often intermittent for that reason: everything tests fine on a dry afternoon and the RCD goes at two in the morning during heavy rain.
When we are called out to one of these, the first job is finding it rather than guessing at it: isolating the affected circuit, getting the property safe and live again where we can, then testing to prove what is wrong. Putting it right usually means the correct enclosure for the position, properly glanded entries, armoured cable where it belongs and RCD protection on anything running outside. The phone is answered around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays.

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.

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.

The work here splits between householders in the town itself and properties out in the villages around it, from older homes near the centre to newer housing on the edges. We also look after shops, offices and small industrial units. Landlords make up a steady part of it, usually wanting an EICR carried out properly and any coded items put right rather than simply listed on a report.
A call normally starts with a few questions, because what tripped and what was being used at the time often narrows the fault before anyone arrives. Knowing which building is affected and where the fuse board sits helps, particularly where the property sits outside the town. Emergency attendance carries a call-out fee and then an hourly rate, set out before anyone is sent. Planned work is quoted free and without obligation, with the price explained before anything begins.
Plenty of jobs in Horsham begin as an emergency and turn into something planned once the immediate problem is dealt with: a fuse board that has no RCD protection, a rewire in stages, smoke and heat alarms brought up to standard, an extra circuit for a kitchen, an EV charging point on the drive. CK Electrical is Part P registered and fully insured, and every job is tested, certificated and left in line with the current wiring regulations.
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.
