Mike did a great job on a tricky domestic job that other electricians didn't want to do. Worked really hard and completed a nice neat job for a fair price. Would highly recommend 👌 …

G Taylor

Senior Property Manager

Addison Electrical were recommended to me by a colleague several years ago, and I have not looked back since employing their services. Regardless of the nature of the work required – be it to replace a single light, carry out electrical testing or to provide a complete LED refurbishment of a development – I have found their service courteous and professional, as well as exceedingly reliable. Even if I am just after advice I know I can always pick up the phone to Mike and the team and they won’t hesitate to be of assistance. If ever I am asked to recommend a company to carry out electrical work, it is always Addison Electrical Contracting.

A very professional and friendly company to deal with right through from quotation to job completion. Gavin and Matthew took their time to understand our requirements and we are very pleased with the service and products that we received.

P Christopher

Senior Property Manager

I have used Addison Electrical on the sites I manage since 2008 and they have continued to provide an outstanding service, not just for ongoing and reactive maintenance but also for the electrical inspection and testing that is required regularly. The nature of property management calls for fast, efficient service and I would not hesitate to recommend Addison’s not only because of the high standards of their service and workmanship, but also because they are a company that care.

Jon Gilbert and Robot

Factory Operations Manager

I worked closely with Addison Electrical from day 1 of the new factory installation and continue to use their services for additional works required, due to the ongoing expansion of the workshop. I found Mike and the team professional and particularly receptive to the constant communication required on such a large project.

What Is Reactive Maintenance and Why Does It Matter?

Reactive maintenance is about resolving faults as they happen. Unlike with corrective maintenance that addresses known faults identified during electric testing and inspection, potentially before or after a breakdown, there is no pre-scheduling. No delays.

Just getting the electrical issues fixed as quickly as possible. These faults could be:

● Internal lighting failures
● External, car park, and street lighting faults
● Tripped distribution boards and power loss
● Security and floodlighting issues
● EV charger faults
● Emergency lighting failures
● General electrical faults and system diagnostics

We handle these issues swiftly.

Why speed matters in electrical issues of this nature.

A simple electrical fault can quickly turn into:

● Full circuit failure
● Equipment damage from unstable power
● Emergency lighting failures that compromise safety
● Increased fire risk from unresolved faults

As landlords and property managers, these delays can also mean compliance issues and liability exposure. Hence, the faster the response, the lower the risk.

As a NICEIC-approved contractor, Addison Electrical ensures every reactive maintenance job protects both immediate safety and long-term system integrity.

Who Our Reactive Maintenance Services Are For

In the past, we’ve worked with different types of clients, ranging from;

Property Management Companies

Managing multiple properties means dealing with electrical faults across different sites and different systems. We act as a consistent, dependable partner across your portfolio, so you’re not coordinating multiple contractors every time something goes wrong.

Private Landlords

When a tenant reports a fault, you need it resolved quickly and properly documented. We respond quickly, fix the problem, and give you the paperwork you need to stay compliant.

Business Owners & Facility Managers

Downtime costs money. We get in, fix the fault, and restore critical services

Construction & Development Firms

Unexpected electrical issues mid-project can derail a timeline. We coordinate directly with site teams to deal with faults without throwing your schedule out.

Homeowners

Electrical faults are stressful. We explain what’s happened and what needs fixing in plain language, then sort it.

What Our Reactive Maintenance Service Covers

We handle a wide range of electrical fault repairs across commercial and residential properties:

● Internal lighting fault repair
● External, car park, and street lighting maintenance
● Distribution unit and power system diagnostics
● Security floodlighting faults
● EV charger fault resolution
● Emergency lighting repairs
● General reactive electrical troubleshooting

Every job is completed to current BS7671 standards and fully documented.

Our Process

When you contact us, a member of our team takes your call, understands the fault, and walks you through the next steps. Here’s how it typically runs:

● A team member speaks with you to understand the nature and severity of the fault.
● An engineer is assigned and dispatched.
● On-site, we assess and diagnose the issue.
● We carry out the repair or a safe temporary restoration where needed.
● We document everything which we can also share with you.

Why NICEIC Approval Matters in a Reactive Maintenance Contract

For property managers and landlords, that means:

● Confidence during inspections
● Protection against regulatory breaches
● Assurance that all work meets legal requirements
● Reduced liability exposure

What is the difference between reactive and proactive maintenance?

Reactive maintenance addresses failures after they occur. Proactive (or preventive) maintenance, through scheduled inspections and monitoring, prevents issues from becoming problems. While both are necessary, reactive maintenance is crucial for immediate recovery after a breakdown.

What is the difference between preventive, corrective, and reactive maintenance?

Reactive maintenance occurs post-failure. Preventive maintenance runs on schedule to reduce failure risk. Corrective maintenance addresses known faults identified during inspection, potentially before or after a breakdown.
