Scattered houses along quiet lanes
Detached houses, cottages and their old boards
Birchgrove has no high street. It is a loose scattering of homes along quiet lanes, mostly detached houses and cottages with gardens, some set well back from the road. Larger houses often have more circuits than a basic board can hold, and many also feed a garage, workshop or garden room from the same consumer unit in the house.
We count circuits from your photos rather than guessing. A cottage might manage with a dual RCD board of 10 ways at £495, but a larger house with outbuildings is better off with an RCBO board offering 14 to 16 ways at £795, so one faulty circuit leaves the others running.

Specified for BirchgroveOverhead lines and earth rods
Overhead lines and earth rods
Rural earthing deserves a proper check
Out in the lanes, some homes may be fed by overhead lines, and some may have no earth provided by the network at all. In that case the house is earthed through a rod of its own in the ground, an arrangement known as TT. On a TT supply the RCDs in your consumer unit do the vital job of cutting off a fault, so an old board without them is a real concern.
The earth electrode is measured before the new board goes live, and its reading goes on your certificate. If the rod, its clamp or the earthing conductor is not up to standard, we explain what we found and agree the remedy with you before any extra work is done.
- Earth rod resistance measured
- RCD protection on every circuit
- Earthing conductor checked
- Readings written on the certificate
Getting to you
Getting to Birchgrove from the coast
We usually come up the A23, cross Haywards Heath and head north east through Lindfield, then follow country lanes towards Horsted Keynes. If your entrance is hard to spot, a note about the gate or a nearby landmark helps. Travel costs nothing extra, and if the power has failed we aim to be there that day, any day of the week.

Birchgrove questions
Asked in Birchgrove
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near the meter for a green and yellow cable. If it runs to a clamp on the incoming supply cable or the sealed cutout, the network provides your earth. If it disappears through the wall to a rod in the ground or a small inspection pit, you are probably on TT. A photo of the meter area tells us which.
Yes. The cable feeding a detached building is tested and reconnected to its own protected way on the new board. Where the outbuilding has a small board of its own, we check that too. If the feed cable turns out to be undersized or damaged, we tell you before going further and quote for putting it right.
No. We charge nothing for travel anywhere in Sussex, so a home in Birchgrove pays what one in Brighton would. Boards cost from £425 with dual RCDs or £625 with full RCBO protection, and whatever fixed price we give from your photos is what you pay.
