Rural call-outs
Petworth is a small market town with villages, hamlets and farmland around it, so a good deal of the electrical trouble here sits away from the house itself. Garages, stables, workshops and garden rooms are often fed by a submain from the main consumer unit, and that cable can run a long way. When something trips, the fault may be anywhere along it, so we test the whole run rather than guess at the far end.
Long external circuits ask more of the design than an internal ring does. Volt drop, cable size, the depth and protection of a buried run, the gland and the enclosure at the far end: all of it matters, and all of it shows up when a supply starts tripping in wet weather. We look at how the circuit was built before deciding what needs putting right.
Where a property is fed by an overhead supply, a storm can damage the incoming line while the wiring inside the house remains perfectly sound. Part of an emergency visit is working out which side of the cut-out the problem sits on, and telling you plainly when the fault is one for the network operator rather than for an electrician. Knowing that before anything is opened up saves work that would not have helped.
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.

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
Older buildings in the centre of a small market town were not wired for the way they are used now, and property around it is often extended and altered more than once. Circuits get borrowed, added to and reused, and the records seldom keep pace. We start by establishing what is actually connected and how it is protected, because that decides what is safe to switch back on.
CK Electrical is a family run firm working across Sussex and the South East of England, and we cover houses, farm buildings, yards and small commercial premises in and around Petworth. Domestic, commercial and industrial work all sits within what we do. The method does not change with the building: test first, explain what has been found, then quote free of charge, with the price explained before any work begins.
Where the safe answer on the night is isolation and a return visit for the full repair, we say so at the time and explain what has been left isolated and why. Fuse board replacements, earthing and bonding upgrades, RCBO protection, smoke and heat alarms, EICRs for landlords and periodic testing are all certificated to the current wiring regulations. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
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.
