Emergency Electricians in Newhaven
Newhaven mixes Victorian terraces near the port with post war council built estates and a growing amount of newer development around the harbour and industrial estate.
A port town with commercial and domestic side by side
Newhaven has more small commercial and light industrial premises than most towns its size, and those units bring three phase supplies, distribution boards and fixed wire testing rather than domestic consumer units.
On the housing side, the ex council stock is well built but frequently still on its original installation, and the terraces near the port have the damp and ventilation issues that come with being close to the water. Both show up in insulation resistance readings.

Fault finding and repairs
Intermittent faults are the ones that cost people money. We test until the cause is proved, then repair it once.

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 Newhaven customers ask before they book.
Do you test commercial units in Newhaven?
Yes. Fixed wire testing for small commercial and light industrial premises is priced per distribution board rather than per bedroom, and we work around opening hours where the supply has to be interrupted.
Is damp a problem for wiring in properties near the harbour?
It can be. Persistent damp lowers insulation resistance over time, particularly in ground floor and basement circuits, and it is one of the things an EICR measures directly rather than guesses at.
Do you charge more at night in Newhaven?
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 Newhaven?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.
