Emergency Call-Outs
Houses here have usually been altered by three or four owners in turn, so faults hide in the joins between one era of wiring and the next. We trace them by testing, not by opening every wall in the house.
A breaker that trips once is a nuisance; one that will not reset is a fault waiting to be found. We work through the board circuit by circuit until the culprit is isolated and everything healthy is back on, whether the board is original to the house or fitted last year.
One dead room or the whole place dark, we establish quickly where the failure sits and restore every circuit that is safe to run, so a single fault does not cost you the whole evening at home.
Scorch marks, a socket that's warm to the touch, or sparking when you unplug. Stop using it and call — this one shouldn't wait.
Stairwell, corridor and exit lighting in the town's flats, offices and retirement schemes has to work the moment the mains fails. We repair failed fittings and batteries and test the system properly, so it would.
Kitchen refits, new flooring and shelving claim their share of cables in a town this fond of improving its houses. If a drill or nail has found a live cable, we make it safe on the spot and repair the run correctly rather than taping over the problem.
Who We Are
Our Haywards Heath emergency electricians provide 24/7 assistance for urgent faults in residential and commercial properties. From the first conversation, we can help establish the seriousness of the problem and explain any immediate steps you should take before attendance.
Electrical work is completed in line with BS 7671, with Part P notification where applicable. If the problem requires more extensive repairs, we'll explain the available options and agree the work with you before moving forward.
Common Call-Outs
Most of the calls we receive relate to the faults set out below. If yours is not among them, the telephone call still costs nothing.
Switch off the affected circuit at the consumer unit where it is safe to reach, leave it isolated, and unplug the appliance in use when the fault appeared.
Damaged cable, a scorched socket and wet wiring all require leaving alone. Repeatedly resetting a breaker that trips straight back achieves nothing beyond generating further heat.
If you notice a burning smell, see smoke or suspect a fire has started, leave the property and contact the emergency services before telephoning us.

Fault Finding
An intermittent trip that behaves perfectly while you are watching still has a cause. We work through the installation circuit by circuit with proper test equipment, so the repair fixes what is actually wrong rather than guessing at it.
Read how we trace faults → BOOK FAULT FINDINGWhat To Expect
Tell us what you are dealing with. An electrician takes the call at any hour, including weekends and bank holidays.
The call-out rate and an honest arrival window are both confirmed before an electrician sets out.
Safe isolation comes before anything else, then testing establishes exactly what has caused the fault.
Most call-outs are completed on the first visit, and anything that cannot be finished is isolated and made safe.
A picture of your board, a tripped switch or a scorched fitting lets us triage before anyone travels, and sometimes solves the problem over the phone.
CALL 0333 360 6904Fuse Box Trouble
A board that has tripped and a board that never had a supply look identical from the hallway. The first five minutes are about telling those two apart.
Tripping And Power Loss Repairs → 0333 360 6904That rules out the street, so the cause is within the property: the service fuse, the tails, or the main switch. We test the incomer first, and if the failure sits before the consumer unit we tell you exactly who has to attend and what to report.
A breaker still in place with a run of sockets dead means the circuit has opened somewhere. Usually a slack or scorched terminal behind a faceplate, or a spur that has worked apart. Continuity testing shows where it stops, and we open up at that point rather than everywhere.
Utility rooms added with an extension are often spurred from the kitchen circuit rather than given a way of their own. A ruptured cartridge in the connection unit, or a terminal cooked by a dryer, removes the room. Tracing where that feed originates is the first task.
On older boards one 30mA device sits over every circuit, so a single earth fault anywhere removes the whole house. We isolate everything, restore ways in small groups, and insulation test whichever one refuses to stay.
Kitchens carry the heavy items and nearly all of them heat. A breaker operating points at demand or a short. A residual device operating points at an element passing current to earth. The device that moved sets the direction, then the appliances get worked through.
Chargers carry protection inside the unit, so the first job is establishing what actually operated: the charger's own device, its breaker, or something back in the house. Damp in an outdoor connection is common, and so is upstream protection of the wrong type for the charger fitted.
Nothing gets left live and open. We make the fault safe on the visit, and if a part is needed you'll know what it is and why before we fit it.

Who we help
Three groups account for most of our Haywards Heath work, and each receives the same response and the same paperwork.
Domestic emergency attendance for power loss, tripping fuse boxes, dead sockets and lighting faults, out of hours included.
Landlord and agent repairs on rental property, documented clearly enough to forward to a tenant without rewriting.
Commercial call-outs for shops, offices and small industrial units, covering three-phase supplies and emergency lighting.
Emergency Repairs
The call-out rate is confirmed by telephone before anyone travels. A fixed figure for the repair follows on site, once the fault has been diagnosed rather than estimated.
Prices are not given over the telephone for faults nobody has yet examined, and no charge appears afterwards that was not discussed with you first. That applies equally at three in the morning and three in the afternoon.
Beyond the town
Haywards Heath sits at the centre of our mid Sussex round, so the same engineers cover Burgess Hill next door, Crawley and East Grinstead to the north, and Lewes over the Downs to the south-east.
FAQ
Feel free to contact us for more information
Almost always. The outbuilding circuit can usually be isolated at the consumer unit, which restores power to the rest of the house within minutes of us arriving. The fault itself is typically water in an outdoor socket, a damaged joint, or armoured cable nicked by garden work, and we trace it from there. If the repair needs daylight or parts, the office stays safely off and everything else stays on.
Yes. We run a 24 hour rota that covers evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Call and you get a real arrival window before anyone sets off, not a vague promise.
That pattern usually points to overload rather than a wiring fault. Conversions here often add circuits to a board that was sized for the original house, and the main switch or RCD gives up when everything draws at once. We can test to confirm which it is, redistribute load where the board allows, and give you a straight answer on whether a consumer unit upgrade is now due under BS 7671.
You are told the call-out rate on the phone before we set off, and the repair itself is quoted and agreed on site before any work starts. Nothing is added afterwards.
