Binsted properties
Spread out along quiet lanes
Homes in Binsted are far more spread out than in nearby Walberton, set along lanes with fields, gardens and trees between them. Rural properties like these tend to have been altered bit by bit over many years, so it is common to find a board that has had circuits added for a kitchen extension, an outbuilding or electric heating, with protection that no longer suits the load.
We start by working out what is actually there. Each circuit is traced, tested and given a clear label on the new board, so the next person who opens the cupboard, whether that is you, a buyer's surveyor or another electrician, can see at a glance what every switch controls.
- Added circuits traced and sorted
- Every way clearly labelled
- Protection matched to the load

Specified for BinstedOverhead lines and earthing
Overhead lines and earthing
Trees, overhead supplies and TT earthing
In wooded countryside, electricity often reaches homes on overhead lines run by UK Power Networks, and many rural properties use TT earthing, with an earth rod in the ground rather than an earth supplied by the network. A TT home relies on its RCDs to clear an earth fault quickly, so the rod and the RCDs both need proper testing when the board changes.
On a Binsted job that means measuring the resistance at the rod itself, checking the main earthing and bonding conductors, and giving every circuit on the new board suitable RCD protection. If the rod is corroded or the reading is poor, we tell you on the day, explain the fix and quote it before doing anything.
- Earth rod resistance measured
- Main bonding checked
- RCD protection on every circuit
- Readings recorded on the certificate
Getting to you
Getting out to Binsted
Our installers reach Binsted by following the A27 to Arundel and then the lanes heading west, and those extra miles never show up on your bill. Once we have seen a photo, we offer a date that fits around you; a fault that has left the house without power is treated as urgent, and we aim to have someone with you the day you call.

Binsted questions
Asked in Binsted
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It changes what we test rather than the board itself. With TT earthing, the RCDs are your main protection against shock from an earth fault, so we measure the rod, confirm the RCDs trip fast enough and record the results. If the electrode needs improving we say so and quote it separately, before the work starts.
We just need someone to open up, point out where the board, meter and any outbuildings are, and give us access to each room so it can be tested. Beyond that you are free to come and go. Most board changes take between 4 and 6 hours, and we talk you through the results and the new labelling before we leave.
Not always. Plenty of homes are well served by a dual RCD board, starting at £425, which is a sound and compliant choice. RCBOs, from £625 for 8 ways, give each circuit its own protection, which helps where long cable runs, outbuildings or electric heating could cause nuisance tripping. We recommend whichever suits your home, not simply the dearer option.
