When something goes wrong with your electrics – whether it’s a blown fuse, a burning smell, or a sudden loss of power – you need someone who knows exactly what they’re doing, and fast. At M and M Electrical Services Ltd, we’ve built our reputation across Eastbourne by being that reliable pair of hands people call on when they need help the most.
But what actually makes a good emergency electrician? And what should you expect when you call one out? Here’s an honest look at how we do things and why people across East Sussex keep coming back to us.
Why Speed and Experience Matter in Electrical Emergencies
Not every electrical issue is an emergency, but when it is, timing and knowledge make all the difference. A buzzing socket, lights that flicker, or a fuse board that keeps tripping – these things can all be signs of something more serious.
You need someone who can get to you quickly, figure out the problem, make it safe, and fix it properly. That’s what we do. Based in Eastbourne, we know the area, we know the types of properties, and we know how to get the job sorted without delay.
A Late-Night Call That Shows What We’re All About
One example we often come back to happened late one night at a local hotel. Power had gone out on one side of the building. Guests were in the dark, hallways had no lights, and the manager was understandably stressed.
We got there in under an hour, identified the fault – an overloaded circuit caused by a faulty appliance – and had things back to normal quickly. No drama, no overcharging, no confusion.
“Fast, calm and totally professional. Couldn’t have asked for more.” – Hotel Manager, Eastbourne
Here’s What You Should Expect from a Good Emergency Electrician
If you’ve never had to call out an emergency electrician before, it’s natural to feel unsure about what to expect. At M and M Electrical, we believe in making things clear, simple, and stress-free. Here’s what we bring to the table:
1. Quick Response
We don’t leave people waiting. We cover Eastbourne and nearby areas, and we aim to be with you as quickly as possible.

All our electricians are NICEIC-registered, properly trained and insured. Whether it’s a home, a flat, a shop or a warehouse, we’re ready to handle it safely.

Common Emergencies We Handle
Here are some of the situations we get called out for regularly:
- Complete power failure in part or all of a property
- A burning smell or signs of overheating around sockets or the fuse board
- RCDs or fuses that keep tripping
- Sparks or buzzing sounds from electrics
- Water leaks that have reached electrical equipment
- Emergency lighting not working in a business
If you’re not sure whether your situation is an emergency, give us a call. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s something urgent or not.
How to Prevent Emergencies in the First Place
While we’re always happy to help in a crisis, there are a few simple things you can do to avoid electrical emergencies:
Get Regular Checks
Book a routine inspection, especially if your property is older. We offer free inspections for customers in Eastbourne.
Don’t Ignore Warning Signs
If something smells odd, trips out often, or looks scorched – don’t wait. Get it looked at.
Think About Rewiring If Your Property Is Old
Wiring doesn’t last forever. If your property hasn’t been rewired in decades, it could be a risk.
Test Your Safety Devices
Check that RCDs are working. If they’re tripping a lot, there could be a deeper issue.
