What sits behind Alfriston's old front doors
The centre of Alfriston is made up of timber-framed and flint buildings, many of them listed, along with the inns, tea rooms and shops of the High Street. Wiring in properties like these has usually been altered several times, so the board might be anything from a wooden-backed fuse carrier to a 1990s unit with a single RCD. Every job starts with a full test so we know what each circuit does.
Thick walls, low beams and uneven floors make cable routes slower to trace, so we allow proper time rather than rushing. Where a new consumer unit can go in the same spot, it usually does. If a better position would help, we explain the options and the cost before any fixing goes into old timber or plaster.
- Listed and period buildings treated with care
- Existing cable routes reused where possible
- Full test before and after the change
- Fixed price agreed before work starts

Working within a protected village
Alfriston lies inside the South Downs National Park, where the South Downs Way crosses the Cuckmere, and its historic core is a conservation area. Replacing a consumer unit in the same place is rarely a planning matter, but new cable runs, external boxes or fixings into listed fabric can be. We point those out early, so you can check with the National Park planners first if needed.
Plenty of properties here also earn their keep as holiday cottages, guest rooms or small businesses. We can book the work for a changeover day or a quiet midweek slot, and as a typical board takes 4 to 6 hours, guests and customers are rarely affected for long. The certificate is useful paperwork for letting and insurance too.

Getting to you
Reaching Alfriston from Brighton & Hove
Our installers come along the A27 and turn south at the Drusillas roundabout, or cross High and Over from the Seaford side. Once we have seen your board in a photo or two, we fix the quote and you pick a day that suits. A buzzing or scorched board, or one that has cut your power, is worth a call straight away, as we come out the same day whenever possible.

Alfriston questions
Asked in Alfriston
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Swapping an old board for a new consumer unit in the same position is not usually something that needs listed building consent. Moving it, chasing into old walls or adding new equipment outside can be a different matter. We will tell you if anything we propose could touch historic fabric, so you can check with the South Downs National Park planning team before we start.
Yes. Tell us your changeover days and we will plan around them. Most of the job is done with the supply switched off, which is why an empty property works best, though power is restored and every circuit labelled before we go. Within 48 hours your Electrical Installation Certificate reaches your inbox, ready to file with the letting records.
Our usual recommendation is full RCBO protection, starting at £625 for an 8 way board, since a fault then switches off only the circuit it is on. On a tighter budget, a dual RCD board starting at £425 is a sound choice. Where old wiring is hard to reach or inspect, a board with arc fault detection, from £1,095, adds another layer of fire protection.
