The housing we work on in Polegate
Polegate is mostly post war and later: 1950s to 1970s semis and bungalows, with newer estates added around the edges over recent decades.
What that means on the day varies house by house, so we test before quoting rather than pricing an assumption.

Full coverage mapRates and fixed prices
Emergency work is charged at a call-out rate quoted before we set off. Planned work such as an EICR or a board upgrade is a fixed price after a survey.
See our pricesMid century installations reaching their limit
Housing built in the fifties and sixties was wired for a very different household: one socket per room, no shower, no dishwasher, and certainly no car on the drive needing charging overnight.
Most of that cable is still perfectly serviceable, which surprises people. What has run out is capacity and protection. Adding dedicated circuits and upgrading the board usually solves it without a full rewire, and testing tells us which of the two you actually need.

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

Call 01273 095564Polegate questions
The things Polegate customers ask before they book.
Can I add an EV charger to a 1960s house in Polegate?
Usually yes, but it needs checking first. We look at the incoming supply capacity, the main fuse rating and the earthing arrangement, then install a dedicated circuit with the protection a charge point requires. The board may need upgrading to make room.
Do I need a full rewire or just a new board?
Testing decides it. If the insulation resistance readings across the circuits are healthy, a board upgrade and a few new circuits usually does the job. We give you the numbers before quoting either.
Do you charge more at night in Polegate?
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 Polegate?
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.
