The housing we work on in Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove is dominated by Regency and Victorian conversions: large houses split into flats, often decades ago, with wiring that reflects every one of those decades.
What that means on the day varies house by house, so we test before quoting rather than pricing an assumption.

See our pricesConversions, HMOs and shared supplies
The flat conversion is the defining Brighton electrical job. One original house, four or five separate installations, a communal intake cupboard, and landlord circuits for the stairwell that nobody has certified in years. Working out where your installation ends and the freeholder responsibility begins is often the first half hour of the visit.
Student and professional HMOs add licence conditions on top: interlinked fire detection, emergency lighting on escape routes, and inspection intervals shorter than the standard five years.

What we do in Brighton and Hove
Every service below is covered in Brighton and Hove and the surrounding area from the same emergency line, day or night.
24 hour emergency call-outs
One number, answered by a person, day or night. If you have no power, a burning smell from a socket, or a fuse board that will not reset, this is the emergency electrician call-out you want. We cover Lewes and the rest of Sussex around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays.

Fault finding and repairs
An RCD that keeps tripping, sockets not working, lights flickering, or power dropping out for no obvious reason. Intermittent electrical faults are the ones that cost people money. We use continuity, insulation resistance and RCD testing to prove the cause rather than guess at it, then repair it once and retest.

Fuse board and RCD upgrades
Fuse box replacement and consumer unit upgrades, from old rewireable fuses to a metal board with an RCBO on every circuit. A modern board protects each circuit on its own, so one faulty appliance no longer takes the whole house out. Tested, certified and notified under Part P, usually in a day.

Rewiring and part rewires
Full house rewires and part rewires for properties with rubber, lead or failing early PVC cable, or lighting circuits with no earth. Cable does not last forever, and the test readings tell you whether yours has anything left. Most rewires take two to five days, with power back on each evening.

EICR and fixed wire testing
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a health check on the fixed wiring: what is safe, what needs attention, and what has to be fixed now. Every circuit tested to BS 7671, every observation coded C1, C2, C3 or FI, and a written report you can hand to a buyer or an agent.

Landlord safety certificates
Rented homes in England need a satisfactory landlord electrical safety certificate, an EICR, at least every five years and at the start of every new tenancy. We test, code the observations honestly, quote any remedial work separately, and reissue the report once it is satisfactory inside the 28 day window.

The things Brighton and Hove customers ask before they book.
Who is responsible for the communal wiring in my Brighton flat?
Your EICR covers the installation inside your flat, from the meter onwards. The intake cupboard, lateral mains and any communal lighting belong to the freeholder or managing agent. We test and report on your side, and tell you plainly when a fault sits on theirs so you are not paying for someone else cupboard.
Do you handle HMO electrical requirements in Brighton?
Yes. HMO licences routinely add conditions beyond the standard EICR, typically mains interlinked fire detection and emergency lighting on escape routes. We test and certify those in the same visit rather than sending a second trade out separately.
Do you charge more at night in Brighton and Hove?
Out of hours work carries a higher call-out rate, quoted before we set off. See the prices page for current rates.
Can you do a landlord EICR in Brighton and Hove?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.

Trusted emergency electricians in Sussex
We have been covering Sussex for 25 years. In that time the wiring regulations have moved through several editions and consumer units have changed shape more than once, while the faults themselves have stayed much the same: loose connections running hot, tired cable, and protection that was never fitted in the first place.
That experience is the difference between guessing and knowing. It is also why we can usually tell you on the phone whether a fault needs a van tonight or a booking on Tuesday, which saves you the out of hours rate more often than you might expect.
