Emergency Electricians in Lancing
Lancing is predominantly interwar and post war: 1930s semis and bungalows in quantity, with later infill and some newer coastal development.
Thirties semis and the kitchen extension problem
Lancing has a great many 1930s houses that have had exactly one major electrical event in their life: a kitchen extension somewhere in the last thirty years, wired by whoever was doing the building work.
That is where we find the most common faults in this housing: circuits extended beyond what the cable was sized for, junction boxes buried in walls without access, and appliance loads sharing a ring that was already busy.

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.

The things Lancing customers ask before they book.
Should my kitchen have its own circuit?
It should. Modern kitchen appliances are the heaviest sustained load in most homes, and sharing a ring with the rest of the ground floor is how you get nuisance tripping and overheated terminations. A dedicated kitchen circuit is standard in any rewire we do.
Can you find a junction box buried in a wall?
Yes, with a cable tracer and careful testing we can locate it closely enough to open a small patch rather than a whole wall. Buried inaccessible joints are a defect in their own right, and we would normally recommend replacing them with an accessible arrangement.
Do you charge more at night in Lancing?
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 Lancing?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.
