Emergency Electricians in Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham combines an old town core with Victorian terraces, interwar housing, and the distinctive Shoreham Beach housing on the shingle spit.
Shoreham Beach, and building close to the water
Shoreham Beach is unlike anywhere else we work. Built on a shingle spit, much of it began as informal housing and has been rebuilt and extended over generations, with a great deal of very modern replacement building alongside older properties.
The proximity to salt water is the constant. External accessories, garden supplies and anything in an unheated space corrode faster here, and installations need specifying with that in mind rather than as an afterthought.

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 Shoreham-by-Sea customers ask before they book.
What ingress rating do outdoor sockets need on Shoreham Beach?
At minimum a weatherproof enclosure suited to the exposure, and in practice we specify above the bare minimum here because of the salt. The rating matters less than the installation detail: correct glands, correct orientation and a seal that will still be doing its job in five years.
Do you work on houseboats or moorings?
Shore supplies to moorings are specialist work with their own requirements around earthing and RCD protection, and we would want to look at the specific arrangement before committing. Call and describe the setup and we will tell you honestly whether it is one for us.
Do you charge more at night in Shoreham-by-Sea?
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 Shoreham-by-Sea?
Yes. We test, code the observations, quote remedial work separately and reissue the report once it is satisfactory. See landlord certificates.
