Emergency Electricians in Hailsham
Hailsham has an old market town core with a great deal of late twentieth century estate housing around it, plus scattered rural properties in the surrounding parishes.
Town estates and outlying rural supplies
The estate housing is straightforward and generally in good order. The interesting work is outside the town, where properties sit on long overhead or underground supplies, sometimes with their own earth electrode rather than an earth provided by the network.
That earthing arrangement changes what protection is required, and it is one of the first things we establish on a rural property, because getting it wrong makes every subsequent calculation wrong too.

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 Hailsham customers ask before they book.
My property outside Hailsham has its own earth rod. Does that matter?
It matters a great deal. A TT installation with its own earth electrode relies entirely on RCD protection to disconnect a fault, so the devices and their test results are more critical than on a supply with a network provided earth. We check the electrode resistance as part of any inspection.
Do you cover the villages around Hailsham?
Yes. Hellingly, Herstmonceux, Upper Dicker and the surrounding parishes are all within our normal coverage, though rural addresses can add a little to an out of hours arrival time.
Do you charge more at night in Hailsham?
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 Hailsham?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.
