Emergency Electricians in Rye
Rye is one of the best preserved small towns in the county: medieval and Georgian buildings in quantity, many listed, plus marshland properties and holiday lets around Camber and Rye Harbour.
Medieval fabric and holiday lets
The citadel properties are old enough that conventional installation methods simply do not apply. Cable routes follow whatever the building already offers, and every fixing point needs thinking about.
Out towards Camber and the harbour, holiday lets dominate. Those change hands and change hands again, they see heavy seasonal use by people unfamiliar with the property, and their electrics deserve inspecting on a shorter cycle than an owner occupied home.

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 Rye customers ask before they book.
Does my Camber holiday let need an EICR?
The 2020 rented sector regulations are written around standard tenancies, so most holiday lets sit outside their strict scope. Your duty of care to guests and your insurer do not, and a five yearly EICR is the accepted way to evidence safe electrics. Given the heavy seasonal use here, we would suggest not stretching it further.
How quickly can you reach Rye in an emergency?
Realistically longer than our core patch, and we will give you an honest window on the phone rather than an optimistic one. For planned work, scheduling is straightforward.
Do you charge more at night in Rye?
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 Rye?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.
