The housing we work on in Eastbourne
Eastbourne runs from Victorian seafront villas and Meads townhouses through interwar semis to the modern housing at Sovereign Harbour.
What that means on the day varies house by house, so we test before quoting rather than pricing an assumption.

See our pricesLarge old houses split into flats, and salt air
The seafront villas and Meads houses were built for single families and now hold three or four flats each. Every conversion added circuits to an installation never designed for them, and the older ones did it before RCD protection existed.
Anything mounted outside near the front takes a beating from salt air. Outdoor sockets, garden lighting and external isolators corrode faster here than a few miles inland, and corroded terminals are exactly what starts an RCD tripping in wet weather.

What we do in Eastbourne
Every service below is covered in Eastbourne 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.

Around forty minutes east along the A27 and A22. Our vans are based in Lewes, and Eastbourne sits within the area we cover for both emergency call-outs and planned appointments.
We also reach Old Town, Meads, Hampden Park, Langney, Sovereign Harbour from the same base. If you are just outside that, call and ask: we would rather tell you honestly that somebody closer will be quicker than keep you waiting.

The things Eastbourne customers ask before they book.
Why do my outdoor sockets keep tripping the RCD in Eastbourne?
Salt air is unkind to outdoor accessories. Corrosion at terminals and water past a perished seal both let current leak to earth, and it usually shows up first in wet weather. The fix is proper weatherproof accessories with the right ingress rating, not simply resetting the device.
Do you cover Sovereign Harbour and Langney?
Yes, both are within our normal Eastbourne coverage. The newer housing at Sovereign Harbour tends to need different work from the Victorian stock: more EV charger installations and consumer unit upgrades than full rewires.
Do you charge more at night in Eastbourne?
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 Eastbourne?
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.
