I have always been happy with the quality of work delivered by Oval Electrical over the last few years.
A lot of my work in Brighton starts in properties that have seen a few different eras of wiring. I was in Kemptown recently carrying out an EICR on a flat where the electrics had been chopped and changed over time without any real structure behind it. Nothing was immediately dangerous, but there were a few concerns that needed sorting before the landlord could rent it out.
That’s pretty typical working as an Electrician in Brighton. You are dealing with a mix of Regency terraces, Victorian conversions, and more modern flats all sitting side by side.
I’ve been doing this for over 10 years now, and what I’ve learned is that it’s never just about “fixing a fault” or “doing a rewire”. It’s about understanding how the property has evolved over time and making sure everything is brought back to a safe, compliant standard.
Back to top1) Real electrical work across Brighton homes
One of the bigger jobs I have carried out recently was a full rewire in Queens Park. There was a mix of old original wiring and some newer additions that had been added over the years. The customer was planning some big renovations so wanted everything stripped back and re-wired with clear labelling, new modern faceplates and future-proof the home for future additions (such as solar or a heat pump)
Jobs like that are a big part of what I do as a Brighton Electrician, especially in older parts of the city where electrics haven’t always kept up with modern needs.
On the other end of the scale, I’m often called out to smaller jobs in places like Patcham , things like faulty sockets, lights needing to be replaced, wiring in ovens. These still require the same amount of thought and care and thought to ensure the home stays safe.

3) Common problems I see in Brighton properties
There are a few issues I come across repeatedly as a Brighton Electrician:
Outdated fuseboards are a big one. Especially in older homes where the electrics haven't been touched it's usually still using the original fuseboard which in some cases is nearly 70 years old!
Another common issue isn’t even to do with wiring but it’s people being let down by trades or struggling to find someone willing to take on smaller jobs. That’s why I still take on small electrical work, even if it’s just a single fault or repair.
