Electrical safety and functionality are paramount in any home or business. With the increasing demand for power—from induction hobs and electric vehicles to smart home systems—your electrical infrastructure needs to be robust and up to date. Ridge Group Contracting provides comprehensive electrical services in Brighton, Hove, and East Sussex. Our team of fully qualified electricians handles everything from minor repairs to full-scale rewiring projects. We are committed to the highest safety standards, ensuring all work complies with BS 7671 (The Wiring Regulations).
We help homeowners maintain safe and efficient electrical systems.
Full Rewires: Many of Brighton’s older properties still rely on outdated cabling that is unsafe and insufficient for modern needs. We perform full rewires, replacing old wiring with new circuits, upgrading earthing, and installing modern accessories. We chase walls and lift floors with care, minimising disruption.
Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Upgrades: The consumer unit is the brain of your electrical system. We upgrade old fuse boxes to modern consumer units featuring RCD (Residual Current Device) and SPD (Surge Protection Device) protection, which save lives by cutting power instantly in the event of a fault.
Lighting Design & Installation: Good lighting transforms a home. We install LED downlights, dimmable mood lighting, pendant fixtures, and external security lighting. We can advise on energy-efficient solutions that lower your bills.
Additional Sockets: We can add extra sockets and USB charging points exactly where you need them, banishing extension leads forever.
Electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. It is vital to test them regularly.
EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report): Landlords are legally required to have an EICR every five years. We conduct thorough inspections, identifying any potential hazards or non-compliance, and issue the necessary certification.
Fault Finding: If your electrics are tripping or you have a flickering light, our experienced electricians use advanced test equipment to locate and rectify the fault quickly.
We are at the forefront of modern electrical trends.
Smart Heating Controls: We install Nest, Hive, and other smart thermostats that allow you to control your heating from your phone.
EV Charging Points: As electric vehicles become the norm, we install dedicated home charging points for faster, safer car charging.
Data and Networking: We install Cat6 cabling and mesh Wi-Fi systems to ensure strong internet connectivity throughout your home, essential for home working and streaming.
Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. Work in these “special locations” requires specific expertise.
Electric Showers: Installation and wiring of high-power electric showers.
Kitchen Appliances: Hard-wiring cookers, hobs, and extractors.
Underfloor Heating: Installation of electric underfloor heating mats for warm tiled floors.
We also support local businesses with office lighting, data trunking, emergency lighting testing, and 3-phase power installations. We understand the need to work around business hours to minimise downtime.
