Common Electrical Callouts in Brighton & Hove
Fault-finding and repairs
Our skilled electricians quickly diagnose and fix electrical problems such as sudden power cuts, flickering or dimming lights, or appliances that have stopped working. We ensure your electrical system is safe and reliable, minimising disruption and preventing further damage.
Additional socket installations
Need more power points? We install extra sockets in strategic locations to make your home or workplace more convenient and prevent overloading existing outlets. This reduces the risk of electrical faults and keeps your devices powered safely.
Lighting solutions
Whether you want to brighten up your living space, improve security with outdoor lighting, or create the perfect ambience for your business, we offer tailored lighting installations and upgrades. From energy-efficient LED fittings to smart lighting controls, we help you find the right solution.
Consumer unit upgrades
Old fuse boxes can be unsafe and unreliable. We replace them with modern consumer units that comply with the latest electrical regulations. This upgrade improves safety, provides better circuit protection, and prepares your electrical system for future demands.
EICRs and electrical testing
Our comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) assess the condition of your wiring and electrical components. Regular testing helps identify potential hazards early, ensures compliance with safety standards, and provides peace of mind for homeowners and landlords alike.
Full rewires
If your property has outdated or damaged wiring, a full rewire may be necessary. We replace all the old cables, sockets, and switches to bring your electrical system up to modern standards, enhancing safety, reliability, and capacity for today’s electrical loads.
Garden and outdoor electrics
We safely install outdoor electrical features such as garden lighting, power points for tools, water features, and electric gates. All work is carried out to withstand weather conditions and comply with safety regulations, making your outdoor spaces functional and secure.
