FAQs
What does routine electrical maintenance involve and how often should it be carried out in Lancing?
Routine maintenance usually includes visual inspections, testing of circuits and protective devices, thermal imaging for overloaded components, emergency-lighting checks, PAT testing of portable appliances and cleaning or tightening of connections. For most domestic properties we recommend a full inspection every 3–5 years and interim checks annually. Commercial premises, especially those open to the public, should be inspected at least once a year to remain compliant with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Why is it important to use a fully qualified NICEIC-approved electrician for maintenance?
NICEIC approval means the electrician has been independently assessed for competence and safety. Using a registered contractor protects you from sub-standard work, ensures that all testing certificates are valid for insurance purposes and keeps you compliant with Building Regulations Part P. In Lancing, many insurers now insist on evidence that maintenance was carried out by a recognised body before they will honour a claim related to electrical faults.
What types of properties and systems do you service in and around Lancing?
We maintain electrical installations in domestic homes, HMOs, retail units, industrial workshops, hospitality venues and schools. Our engineers are trained to work on single- and three-phase systems, distribution boards, LED lighting, emergency lighting, fire-alarm interfaces, EV charge points and solar PV inverters. If your site is in Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing or the wider Adur district, we can usually reach you within 30 minutes.
How quickly can you respond to a maintenance request and do you offer out-of-hours cover?
Planned maintenance visits are scheduled at a time that suits you, typically within 3–5 working days of booking. For urgent issues discovered during routine checks—such as overheating cables or a failed RCD—we provide a same-day call-out service. Our 24-hour emergency line means an engineer can be dispatched to any address in Lancing or neighbouring areas within 60 minutes, even at night or weekends.
Will routine maintenance disrupt my business operations or daily life?
We aim to keep downtime to an absolute minimum. For commercial clients we can work outside trading hours, break the job into zones so only small areas are isolated at a time, or use temporary power supplies. In homes we liaise with occupants before switching anything off and typically complete standard testing in under two hours. All work areas are left clean and we provide a written report of findings before we leave.
How much does routine electrical maintenance cost and can I get a free quotation?
Prices start from £120 +VAT for a basic domestic inspection and certificate, rising to around £250 +VAT for a small commercial unit. Larger sites are quoted individually based on the number of circuits, accessibility and any specialist equipment. Site surveys and written quotations are free of charge. We also offer discounted annual maintenance plans that spread the cost over 12 months and include priority call-out at no extra fee.
