7 miles from the workshop
Electricians in Worthing
Seven miles of the A24 from the workshop to the seafront, so Worthing is the town we give as our own location and the one our electricians are in most weeks — consumer units, extra circuits, lighting and the faults that only show up at nine at night.
In short
An electrician in Worthing from Solar Squirrel means the NICEIC-registered team that fits and certificates our solar systems doing the everyday electrical work too: consumer unit changes, extra circuits, lighting, outdoor power and fault-finding, 7 road miles from our Washington workshop. Every circuit we add is certificated by the people who did the work. No price list — a quote follows a look at the board and the house, and we say at the door if the fault you rang about is a symptom of something bigger.
What we take into account in Worthing
The house, the board and the street decide an electrical job here more than the thing you rang about does. These are the ones that decide it in Worthing.
The local facts behind a Worthing quote
- Approximately 7 road miles south of our base at Washington, via the A24 — the town we describe ourselves as based “just outside”.
- The centre and East Worthing are largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis. On a house of that age the first question on an electrical visit is usually the consumer unit and the state of the earthing, before the thing you rang about.
- Worthing has several conservation areas, including the seafront and Broadwater. That does not stop electrical work indoors; it is worth knowing when an outdoor fitting or a cable run sits on a front elevation.
- Salt-laden air within a mile or so of the front. Outdoor sockets, garden lighting and a car-charging point here are specified in corrosion-rated enclosures and fixings as standard, not on request.
- Every circuit we add or alter is certificated by the electricians who did the work, and notifiable work is notified through our own registration, so the paperwork arrives with the job rather than after it.
What a Worthing electrical visit usually turns into
A fault on one circuit in an East Worthing terrace is quite often a consumer unit that has run out of road, so we say that plainly at the door rather than after the invoice. The usual list in the town: a consumer unit change with the certificate; an extra circuit for a kitchen, a loft conversion or a garden office; outdoor power and lighting that will survive the sea air; and fault-finding, which is mostly patience with a meter.
If a car is on the horizon the supply question comes first: a dedicated circuit, the right protection, and the network operator told about the new charging point. EV charger installation is the same team, and solar panels in Worthing is where the roof conversation lives if the two jobs want doing together.
Why the same firm does the electrics and the solar
Because a solar system is an electrical installation first, the electricians who sign for a new circuit in Worthing are the same people who fit and certificate an array, which means one visit, one certificate pack and one number to ring. The county picture — what we do, what we hold, what a visit looks like — is on our general electrical work page; electricians in Littlehampton and electricians in Brighton & Hove cover the coast either side.
Two things people in Worthing ask before they book
“Is it an emergency, and do you do those?”
If something is sparking, smelling hot or has tripped and will not reset, switch it off at the board and ring. We will tell you honestly whether it is a same-day job for us or a make-safe for the network operator or the supplier. We do not pretend to be a 24-hour call-out service.
“Can you just fix the one socket?”
Yes, and we will. If the one socket is a symptom of an older board or a shared circuit that is overloaded, we say so and quote the proper fix separately — you decide, not us.
What you are not committing to
- A conversation on the phone first — ownership, the board, the fault — so no visit is wasted.
- A written quote with the reasons in it, and a separate line for anything we think the board needs that you did not ask for.
- If the honest answer is “leave it alone”, you hear it.
- The same electricians do the work and sign the certificate: MCS certified · NICEIC Approved Contractor.
Questions we get asked in Worthing
Do you cover Worthing for electrical work, not just solar?
Yes. Worthing is seven road miles from our Washington base and the town we give as our own location. Consumer units, extra circuits, lighting, outdoor power and fault-finding are the everyday list, by our own NICEIC-registered electricians, and the certificate for any new circuit is signed by the people who did the work.
My Worthing house is Victorian — does it need a rewire?
Not necessarily, and we will not tell you it does from the doorstep. A look at the consumer unit, the earthing and a sample of the wiring says whether it is a board change, a partial upgrade or a rewire. The answer comes with the reasons written down.
