Emergency Electricians 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.
Conversions, 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.

Fault finding and repairs
Intermittent faults are the ones that cost people money. We test until the cause is proved, then repair it once.

Fuse board and RCD upgrades
A modern board protects each circuit on its own, so one faulty appliance no longer takes the whole house out.

Rewiring and part rewires
Cable does not last forever. Rubber, lead and early PVC installations reach a point where testing alone will not save them.

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.
