Every service below is available in Shoreham-by-Sea, Shoreham Beach, Old Shoreham, Southwick and Lancing — 24 hours a day.
We provide a genuine 24 hour emergency service throughout Shoreham-by-Sea, from the beach and the houseboats on the Adur to Old Shoreham and the industrial units by the port. A burning smell, a dead circuit or an overheating board gets an electrician sent out, day or night.
Find out moreCoastal fault finding is its own discipline. Salt-laden air corrodes terminals and enclosures from the outside in, and the fault often shows up in an outside socket, a garden light or a meter box long before anything indoors misbehaves. We test circuit by circuit until it is proved.
Find out moreIn Shoreham a breaker that keeps tripping very often traces back to water. Driven rain, spray and damp getting into an exterior accessory will leak enough current to earth to take an RCD out repeatedly. We find which circuit is at fault, repair the cause, then prove it.
Find out moreCorroded accessories, water-damaged circuits and failed protective devices repaired at short notice across Shoreham-by-Sea. Exterior work is replaced with correctly rated and properly sealed equipment, because anything less simply fails again by the next winter.
Find out moreEICRs throughout Shoreham-by-Sea for homeowners, landlords and businesses. On coastal properties the exterior circuits, outbuilding supplies and earthing arrangements deserve particular attention, and they get it — every circuit inspected and coded by severity.
Find out moreOld boards and units with no RCD protection replaced with modern consumer units. In Shoreham we test the existing installation first, because sea-air deterioration on exterior circuits will show up the moment sensitive protection is fitted if it is not dealt with.

Shoreham-by-Sea sits on the coast road between Brighton and Worthing, which usually puts it at the quicker end of our 30 to 90 minute window. The nearest available electrician is the one sent to you.
We run a genuine 24 hour call out service, 365 days a year. Nights, weekends and bank holidays are staffed as any weekday is. If the A259 is slow or the Norfolk Bridge is busy we tell you on the phone rather than leaving you guessing.
Whether you need an emergency electrician near you after a power cut, an out-of-hours electrician for a burning smell, or a same-day electrician to make an exterior circuit safe after a storm, the phone is answered by a qualified electrician who can advise you straight away.
No call centre, no answering service and no waiting until morning — just a 24 hour emergency electrician who can tell you what to switch off before we arrive, and how soon that will be.
A sample of recent jobs — exterior circuits, water ingress and board replacements all feature, just as they do in Shoreham.

Every electrician attending a job in Shoreham-by-Sea has at least 18 years behind them. It is a minimum rather than an average, so no apprentice attends alone and no subcontractor is used to cover demand.
Experience is what turns exploration into diagnosis. Eighteen years means recognising the fault quickly: the terminal that has corroded rather than loosened, damp tracking into an enclosure, the exterior circuit that tests fine dry and fails in driven rain.
On the coast that pattern recognition saves real money. A salt-corroded connection and an overloaded circuit produce quite different readings, and treating one as the other means paying twice for the same fault.
That is why most call-outs here are settled on the first visit, and why the guidance you get on the phone beforehand is worth following closely.
As Shoreham-by-Sea's local emergency electricians, we provide fast, careful repairs around the clock. Ring at any hour and you will reach an electrician directly.
Covering:
Straight answers to what Shoreham-by-Sea customers ask us most.
On the coast it is very often corrosion and moisture rather than a wiring error. Salt-laden air attacks terminals and seals, and once water is tracking inside an accessory it leaks enough current to earth to trip an RCD every time it rains. The fix is replacement with correctly rated sealed equipment, not drying it out.
Ring and tell us what the supply arrangement is. A shore supply feeding a vessel is not the same as a domestic installation, and we would rather establish over the phone whether it is work we should be taking on than turn up and tell you it is not.
Anything that has been submerged or splashed: sockets, switches, the consumer unit if it is mounted low, and any circuit running below floor level. Do not re-energise it on the assumption that it has dried out. Insulation resistance testing will tell you what is recoverable and what has to be replaced.
