Emergency Electricians in Lewes
Lewes is unusually old for its size: timber framed and Georgian townhouses in the centre, Victorian terraces up the hills, and post war estates on the edges.
Listed buildings and awkward cable routes
A great many Lewes properties are listed or sit in the conservation area, which changes how a rewire is done. Surface trunking and visible chases are rarely acceptable, so cables are routed through floor voids, existing chimney breasts and hidden channels instead. That takes longer and needs planning before the first board comes up.
Solid chalk and flint walls are the other Lewes speciality. Chasing them is slow, and often the honest answer is a rerouted circuit rather than a straight line through masonry.

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
Rented homes in England need a satisfactory EICR every five years, and at the start of every new tenancy.

The things Lewes customers ask before they book.
Can you rewire a listed building in Lewes?
Yes, and it needs planning rather than improvisation. Listed building consent may be required for anything affecting the fabric, so we agree cable routes with you and, where relevant, the conservation officer before starting. Most of the work goes through floor voids and existing voids rather than new chases.
Do you cover the villages around Lewes?
Yes. Ringmer, Kingston, Cooksbridge, Barcombe, Offham and the Ouse valley villages are all within a few minutes of our base and get the same response as Lewes itself.
Do you charge more at night in Lewes?
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 Lewes?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.
