Electrical Services for Housing Associations Across Sussex

Reliable local electricians for safe, efficient and future-ready housing stock

At CDS Electrical, we work with housing associations across East and West Sussex to deliver high-quality, fully compliant electrical services that keep homes safe, energy-efficient and aligned with regulatory standards.

As experienced local electricians in the public housing sector, we understand the unique challenges housing associations face—from maintaining large property portfolios to meeting decarbonisation targets and managing tenant needs.

Whether it’s routine inspections, responsive repairs, or large-scale modernisation works, our team of local electricians provides dependable electrical solutions with minimal disruption to residents.

We are proud to be trusted local electricians for housing associations in areas including Brighton, Crawley, Worthing, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes and beyond.

Our fully qualified and DBS-checked local electricians are trained to work in both occupied and void properties, with strict adherence to safeguarding protocols.

As local electricians, we also work closely with contractors and internal teams to ensure all works are delivered on time, within budget, and in line with your association’s goals.

Our Services for Housing Associations Include:

5-year fixed wire testing and remedial works
Electrical rewires and distribution board upgrades
Smoke and CO₂ detector installations
Solar panel systems and battery storage
PAT testing, fault finding and maintenance
LED lighting upgrades for communal areas
Fire alarm systems and emergency lighting
Air conditioning servicing and heat pump installs

As PAS 2030-certified local electricians, we’re qualified to carry out works under the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) and other government-backed schemes.

This enables your organisation to access funding while improving the sustainability and performance of your housing stock.

We’re more than just local electricians—we’re strategic partners helping you modernise responsibly, improve tenant wellbeing and work toward Net Zero.

“CDS have been working with Southdown for over 10 years. We are a specialist landlord of supported housing throughout Sussex and it is therefore vital that our contractors understand our tenants, some of which have complex needs. CDS consistently take time to understand our tenant’s needs to deliver an exceptional service. This is reflected in their KPI’s and our tenant satisfaction surveys. Nothing is too much for them and they always look for creative solutions to our challenging issues. In addition to the full range of electrical services, including solar, CDS provide an out of hours service, giving our staff and tenants the peace of mind that we require. I would have no hesitation in recommending CDS to any interested parties.”
