Emergency Electricians in Lewes
Part P registered emergency electricians covering Lewes and the surrounding Sussex villages around the clock. One call, a real electrician on the phone, and a van on the way.
Keeping your family and home safe
Electricity is the quietest thing in a Lewes home until it goes wrong. A dead socket, a smell of hot plastic, a fuse board that will not stay on: all of them are telling you something, and none of them get better on their own.
We turn up with test gear rather than guesswork, make the installation safe first, then explain what we found in plain English before any repair is agreed.
Safety advice for your home
Certificates, deadlines and remedial work
Rented homes in England need a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every five years, and at the start of a new tenancy. Agents want the report, the remedial quote and the sign-off without chasing.
We test, code the defects honestly, quote the remedials separately so you can see what is required and what is advisory, then reissue once the work is done.

Is it the street, or is it you?
Look outside. If your neighbours are dark too, it is a network fault: call 105 free from any phone and your distribution operator will pick it up. If your house is the only one out, check the main switch on your consumer unit before you call anyone.
The full power cut checklistTrips are protection, not a nuisance
An RCD that keeps dropping out has found current leaking somewhere it should not. Unplug everything on the affected circuit, reset once, and plug items back one at a time. If it trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is in the fixed wiring and needs testing.
Why RCDs tripHot plastic means stop
A fishy or burning smell near a socket, switch or fuse board is arcing at a loose connection. Switch that circuit off at the board, do not use the socket again, and call us. This is the one fault we always treat as an emergency.

Old fuse boards, new protection
Rewireable fuses and plastic boards were fine in their day. RCBOs now protect each circuit on its own, so one faulty kettle no longer plunges the whole house into darkness.

Certificates that stand up
Every job leaves with the right paperwork: an EICR, a minor works certificate or an installation certificate, tested to BS 7671 and readable by someone who is not an electrician.

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.
