Brighton or East Sussex Electrician Recommendation Please

[vanessap]

Hi All,

I wondered if you might be able to recommend any electricians in the Brighton area please?

• To wire in some already chased sockets (possible)
• To find the fault in a ring that has no continuity

Many thanks,
Vanessa

Will the electrician who sorted your mother's home not undertake this work?

Will the electrician who sorted your mother's home not undertake this work?

Honestly I think they did an amazing job at my mum's, I am feeling a bit cautious as there were a few things that threw me.

They tried very hard to upsell me some lighting they had for the kitchen and shared that fluorescent lighting or lighting with a diffuser is the only lighting legally allowed in kitchens - I purchased the light fixture from TLC electrical the day before. This really threw me, I ended up spending so much time that I did not have to check in with other electricians to make sure I should not rip out the fitted fixture.

The sockets were installed with no trunking and at different depths so I will need to remove them and do some more chasing before applying a bonding coat - I could live with this stuff but sadly they doubled their hourly rate yesterday evening on the quote for my home which is now around £400-500 for the fault finding or £200.00 per hour which is not affordable unfortunately.

I think they are incredibly skilled at the wiring of the consumer unit and testing, though I think the changing of pricing like this is quite unnerving. I've been battling with this today as I feel bad looking for other quotes.

I did try to get another quote today but it was a bit of a nightmare, the electrician was determined to upsell an EICR certificate at a starting price of £500.00 which I was not looking for, which is honestly why I am asking for recommendations here now as I felt like ripping my hair out after this.
