Qualified bilge pump fit-out and repair for yachts in Brighton — automatic systems with premium-water alarms for safety. Local yacht electricians, not domestic sparks.
Vessel owners in Brighton will recognise this — as one of the South Coast's busiest marinas, Brighton Marina is home to hundreds of yachts requiring expert wiring care.

Understanding that local context is part of why our work holds up.
Around Brighton, where the cruising grounds reward dependable electrics, your bilge pump is your yacht's first line of defence against sinking.

Locally that includes craft kept at Brighton Marina and the surrounding East Sussex berths. It's the standard we hold ourselves to on each Brighton visit.

Pontoon access at certain berths drops with the tide — we time visits so we're not climbing ladders unnecessarily.
Yacht electrics is as much about prevention as it is about fix — we'll frequently spot future problems while we're sorting the current one.
