Landlords and tenants
A fault in a let property involves more people than a fault in an owner-occupied house. The tenant reports it, the agent logs it and the landlord authorises the spend, and the agent may be in Brighton or Newhaven rather than on the doorstep. We work to that reality: one number answered around the clock, a clear account of what is wrong, and a price agreed before anyone commits to it.
Access is the part that slows most jobs down. We would rather agree how we are getting in before we set off: a tenant at home, a key left with the agent, or a time that suits someone commuting along the coast to work. Tell us on the phone who holds the keys and whether the tenant has been given notice, and the visit is far less likely to be wasted.
A landlord letting a house on this stretch of the coast needs paperwork that stands up on file. An EICR before a tenancy begins, or when the last report runs out, is written up with observations coded and any remedial work priced separately, so you can decide what happens next. Where a repair is carried out, certification follows for the work done, and the tenant is told what has changed.
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 moreCoastal housing
The housing here is domestic in scale, houses and bungalows rather than tall blocks, with garages, garden rooms and outbuildings that have picked up a supply at some point along the way. Those additions are where faults tend to hide: a spur run off a socket circuit, an old cable to a shed with no proper protection, a fuse board that has been added to more than once.
A clifftop position above the Channel takes a toll on anything mounted outside. Salt air and onshore wind reach external lights, garden sockets, outdoor enclosures and the glands on cable run along a wall, and corrosion sets in faster than it does inland. When we fit an EV charging point or an outside light on an exposed elevation, the equipment and the sealing are chosen with that in mind.
Work here runs from a tripping circuit at ten at night to a rewire booked weeks ahead, and it takes in the small shops and commercial premises along the road between Brighton and Newhaven as well as houses and flats in Peacehaven. The phone is answered every day of the year, bank holidays included. Quotes are free and given without obligation, and the work is carried out to 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.
