A few homes among the fields
Isolated houses with long cable runs
We do not pretend to know every house in a hamlet this size. What we can say is what rural Wisborough Green parish tends to look like: detached cottages and farmhouses, often extended, set well apart along quiet lanes. In homes like these the meter may sit in an outside box or a back porch some way from where the board would be most useful.
Distance inside the house matters too. Long runs to a far bedroom wing or a converted barn need checking for voltage drop and fault loop readings, which tell us whether a breaker will trip fast enough. We test every circuit end to end and choose breaker sizes that suit the actual cable lengths.
- Detached rural cottages
- Meters in porches and outside boxes
- Long circuits measured
- Breakers matched to cable runs

Notified to Chichester, not Horsham
Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable building work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Because Wisborough Green parish belongs to Chichester district, the notification for a Cold Harbour home goes to Chichester District Council, even though Billingshurst, a few minutes away, is in Horsham district. As Part P registered installers we file it for you, so there is no separate Building Control application to make.
Within a few weeks of the job, a Building Regulations compliance certificate is issued to you. Keep it with the Electrical Installation Certificate we email within 48 hours. When you come to sell, a buyer's solicitor will ask for both, and having them to hand avoids delays.
- Part P notice filed for you
- Chichester District Council record
- Compliance certificate sent to you

Getting to you
Cold Harbour, out beyond Billingshurst
Cold Harbour is a fair drive for us, yet none of that journey is charged to you. We come through Billingshurst and out along the lanes to the south west. To fix the quote, we only need images of the board and wherever the meter sits. When the old board gives up altogether, a phone call is the answer, and we will be working towards a same day call out.

Cold Harbour questions
Asked in Cold Harbour
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Postcodes follow Royal Mail delivery areas, while building control follows council boundaries. Cold Harbour has an RH14 Billingshurst postcode but sits in Wisborough Green parish, which is part of Chichester district. So the notification for your new consumer unit goes to Chichester District Council. It makes no difference to the price or the work, only to the name on the paperwork.
We normally fit the board indoors. Meter boxes are not built to house a consumer unit, and a board out there would sit in the damp and cold. The usual answer is a position inside, as close to the meter as is practical. If the board needs to move from where it is now, that adds £250 to the board price.
Not much. Clear a path to the board and the meter, and tell us about any outbuildings, alarms or medical equipment that rely on power. Shut down computers if you can, and keep a torch handy for the gap between the old board going off and the new one going live. We do the rest, including tidying up.
