Domestic lighting electrical services Brighton Harry has carried out first class work for us previously so when my daughter needed security lights fitted to her house, urgently, I contacted Harry. He could not have been more helpful. He came that evening and in the wind and pouring rain fitted the lights where they were required. He had patience enough to ensure that we knew how to operate the lights and did not leave until we were fully satisfied. Workmanship was just excellent and I just cannot recommend Harry enough. Great job, great tradesman, great man. Well done Harry and many thanks Ron

Frequently asked questions

Can I carry out electrical work myself?

Whilst it is legal to carry out certain electrical work yourself you will need to have them checked by a qualified electrician. A lot of our work is rectifying DIY electrical works. If not done properly it can be a real fire risk. Please don’t take a risk with your family’s safety to save a few quid. Always use a properly qualified electrician.

How often should I have my house re-wired?

A good wiring job should last 20 years or more but we would recommend having a EICR electrical inspection condition report done every 5 years.

What are the common signs I need my electrical installation checked?

If your fuses keep tripping or sockets suddenly stop working, these are signs that you need to have your electrics properly checked. If you take over a property and there is no electrical certificate available, don’t take a risk – get them checked!

How often should I have my electrical appliances checked?

If you want to be sure your home is safe then we’d recommend appliances are PAT tested every 12 months.

How much does it cost to re-wire a house?

This will depend on the size of your property and how many lights, sockets and other installations you have. An average house will cost about £3k + vat.

How can I save electricity in my home?

A lot can be saved by using LED lighting, energy efficient heating and low energy appliances. Smart heating systems and automated lighting and heating can also help save energy if properly programmed. We offer a free energy efficiency advice service.
