Whether you've lost power, your fuse box keeps tripping, you need an EICR for a rental property, or you want new sockets and lighting, we provide electrical services across Brighton (BN1, BN2).
Brighton's housing is dominated by Victorian and Regency terraces, many converted into flats, alongside a large private rented sector serving students and young professionals. Older conversions often have multiple consumer units, shared landlord supplies and wiring that has been extended many times — all common sources of faults and EICR observations. Sea air along the seafront can also shorten the life of outdoor fittings.

Landlords in Brighton: local licensing
- Larger houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) need a mandatory licence, and a city-wide additional licensing scheme for smaller HMOs has applied since 1 July 2024.
- A separate selective licensing scheme applies to privately rented homes in certain wards.
- Licence conditions include keeping the electrical installation safe and in working order and giving the council a declaration of electrical safety on request — a current, satisfactory EICR is the usual evidence.
- Scheme areas, fees and conditions can change, so check the council's current licensing pages before letting.
