Southern Housing Group instructed us to carry out works to 90 of their properties in Hove. The work involved the upgrading of kitchen and electric heating to bring the properties up-to-date with the latest models available.

The latest Dimplex Quantum night storage heaters that we installed offer a massive saving on energy consumption compared to the heaters that we removed. A benefit that will be seen each and every time the units are used.

On Sunday the 19th March 2017, Corin took part in the Hastings Half Marathon just two weeks after the Eastbourne Half Marathon. He finished the Hastings Half in an even better time of 1 hour and 55 minutes.

He ran the race with his friend Russell and they crossed the finish line together. A great effort by both of them and Corin has now managed to raise £175 for Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice. The fundraising page is still open as he continues to receive donations towards that ultimate goal of £500. Watch the money roll in on the official Just Giving donation page, CDS Electrical set up.
​

Every mile ran and every penny raised is a step towards our goals for the year. £1,500 raised for charity and to travel a distance of 1,500 miles in official events. To track our progress throughout the year, please refer to our Charity page.

Since the 31st December 2009, the use of R22 (Chlorodifluoromethane) refrigerant for servicing and maintenance of air conditioning units has been banned and since the 31st December 2014 a total ban came into force on all recycled and reclaimed R22 and thus it is no longer possible to maintain air conditioning systems that use R22.
​

Corin is at it again this weekend with another half marathon. As soon as the running shoes come off, it's time to put them back on again. This Sunday, Corin will be taking part in the 33rd Hastings Half Marathon.

A 13.1 mile challenging race around Hastings and St. Leonards. Last year Corin ran both the Eastbourne and Hastings half marathon and raised an astonishing £870 for charity. This year, he has already managed to raise £45 since doing the Eastbourne half and is looking to raise some more from doing the Hastings half.

Corin will be raising money for Chestnut Tree House, a children’s hospice which cares for 300 children and young adults from 0-19 years of age with progressive life-shortening conditions. If you would like to donate, please do so on the official just giving page.

Thanks All.

Last year, as part of our continuous development ‘Corin Dudley Electrical Services Ltd’ invested £4,000 in a ‘Growth Voucher’ programme which was a new government programme aimed to help businesses go beyond being a small business. 

​We engaged with Rachel Stone from ‘Bespoke Training Eastbourne Ltd’ to provide leadership and management skills training using the ‘Growth Voucher’ scheme. The training has delivered huge benefits to our business and a year later we have decided to invest in more training to continuously improve. Rachel has been and will continue to train and coach us in a variety of areas to improve every aspect of the company.

Our standard working hours are from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday but we are actually able to carry out works 24/7. We like to go beyond the standard practice of most companies and deliver an exceptional experience from beginning to end.

The weekend just gone, we had eight engineers working simultaneously throughout the weekend to have the works completed by Monday. It was a large job and one that needed to be carried out, outside of the normal working hours of the company we were working at.

The job was completed on time and we had one more very happy customer at the end of it. If you would like CDS Electrical to carry out works for you outside of our standard working hours, please refer to 'Our Prices' page to view the different rates.

​This time last year the Managing Director of CDS Electrical; Corin Dudley, was getting ready to run Eastbourne's biggest running event for the first time in 5 years. One year later and he's decided to do it again. On Sunday 5th March 2017, Corin will run the 13.1 mile route along Eastbourne seafront.

​The Eastbourne Half Marathon which is a yearly event is now entering it's 13th year and is set to be bigger and better than ever before. Corin ran a great race in 2016 and raised an astonishing £670 for Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice. With such success last year, Corin is hoping to raise some more money for charity this year.

Corin's goal is to raise £500. If you would like to contribute, please click the link below and donate through the official just giving page (link below). Any donation is hugely appreciated. Thank-you.
