Emergency Electricians in Storrington
Storrington is a downland village with a period core, extensive later housing, and a notably high proportion of retirement and bungalow accommodation.
Bungalows, annexes and long occupancy
Storrington and the villages around it have a lot of bungalow and retirement housing, often occupied by the same household for a very long time. Long occupancy is comfortable for the owner and hard on an installation, because there is rarely a moment that forces an inspection.
Annexes are the other local feature: self contained accommodation added to a main house, sometimes with its own board and sometimes fed from a circuit that was never designed for a second dwelling.

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.

EICR and fixed wire testing
An EICR is a health check for the fixed wiring: what is safe, what needs attention, and what has to be fixed now.

Landlord safety certificates

The things Storrington customers ask before they book.
My annexe is fed from the house. Is that acceptable?
It depends entirely on how it was done. A properly designed sub main with its own board and protection is fine. A radial circuit extended from the house to feed a whole annexe usually is not, and it is worth testing before it becomes a problem.
I have lived here forty years and never had a problem. Do I need testing?
No requirement, but consider what the absence of a problem actually tells you. Older installations frequently have no earth leakage protection at all, which means the fault type that injures people is not being watched for. The report tells you what you have.
Do you charge more at night in Storrington?
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 Storrington?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.
