A scattering of homes
Few houses, each with its own story
A hamlet like Barcombe Mills has only a handful of properties, spread out along the lane and the river. With so few homes there is no standard layout: an older cottage may still have a row of separate switches and fuse holders, while a house modernised more recently might have a plastic consumer unit that is now full.
We start by finding out what each circuit actually feeds, including lighting and power out to garden buildings. Then we test the wiring, fit the new board and certify the whole property. Your photos give us enough to fix the price, and the Electrical Installation Certificate reaches your inbox within 48 hours.
- Old switchgear removed and made safe
- Garden building circuits included
- Insulation tested before switch on
- Certificate emailed within 48 hours

Board position on low lying ground
Barcombe Mills sits on low ground beside the Ouse, and river valleys like this one can flood after heavy, prolonged rain. If water ever reaches a fuse box, everything on it is out of action until the board is dried out, tested or replaced. Where a home is at risk, the height and position of the new board are worth thinking about before it goes on the wall.
Where it is practical, we can move the board higher or to a drier part of the house for £250 on top of the board price. A full RCBO board is useful after a flood too, since one damp circuit can be isolated while every other circuit in the house keeps working. We talk the options through with you first.
- Board relocation from £250 extra
- Damp circuits isolated individually
- Meter moves explained honestly
- Options agreed before work starts

Barcombe Mills questions
Asked in Barcombe Mills
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691We would not reuse a board that has been under water. Water and silt get into breakers and terminals and can cause faults long after everything looks dry. We make the installation safe, test the wiring on each circuit, and fit a new consumer unit once the cables are fit to reconnect. If any runs need replacing, we tell you before doing anything.
Sometimes. The board is fed by cables from the meter, so a long move means a longer supply run and sometimes an extra isolator, while the meter position itself is a matter for your supplier and UK Power Networks. We look at your photos and say honestly whether moving the board higher is practical and what the £250 relocation charge covers.
We test before and after fitting the board. If a circuit shows a fault, such as damaged cable or poor insulation, we explain what we found and what it would cost to put right. Nothing extra is done without your agreement, and a faulty circuit is never left connected in an unsafe state.
