Our Story
Three Decades of Electrical Contracting
Apex Electrical Contractors was established in Eastbourne in the early 1990s as a domestic and small commercial electrical firm. Over three decades, we have grown steadily into one of the South East's most complete electrical contracting businesses — now operating nine specialist divisions from our base in East Sussex.
Our growth has been built on one consistent principle: doing the work properly and standing behind it. That means qualified engineers, correct certification, honest quotations and clear communication. We have never chased volume at the expense of quality, and our repeat client base — which includes local authorities, facilities management companies, landlord portfolios and long-term domestic clients — reflects that.
Today, our team of over sixty engineers and apprentices covers domestic, commercial and industrial electrical installation, EICR testing and compliance, EV charging, fire and security systems, solar PV, air conditioning and data cabling. Every division operates to the same standard — the one our clients have come to expect.
