Houses and cottages
Scattered rural homes on the coastal plain
As a hamlet, Colworth is a handful of homes rather than a planned street, with the kind of mix you would expect in the countryside between Chichester and Bognor: older cottages, detached houses, farm related properties and later additions. Many have been altered and extended over the years, sometimes several times, and that tends to show up in the wiring.
Older rural installations are often a collection of boards rather than a single unit: a fuse box in the house, another in the garage, perhaps a sub board for a workshop. We look at the whole arrangement, design one modern board that suits it, and test every circuit, including those running outside.
- Multiple old boards consolidated
- Garage and workshop feeds tested
- Outdoor circuits RCD protected
- Clear labels for every circuit

Overhead lines and earth rods
TT earthing, earth electrodes and why they need testing
In open countryside the electricity often arrives on overhead lines, and many such properties use a TT earthing system, where the home relies on its own rod in the ground rather than an earth provided by UK Power Networks. If that rod has corroded, been disturbed or was never very effective, your protection against electric shock leans heavily on the RCDs working properly.
Fitting a new board in a TT property always includes a resistance test on the earth electrode, a check of the connection at the rod and proof that the RCDs disconnect fast enough. Where a reading is poor we explain what is needed to put it right. A full RCBO board is especially sensible here, since every circuit then has its own residual current protection.
- Earth electrode resistance measured
- Rod connection inspected
- RCD trip times recorded
- Surge protection suited to overhead supplies
Getting to you
Coming out to Colworth
Colworth is in Chichester District rather than Arun, but for us it is simply part of the same run west from Brighton & Hove, about 25 miles, with no charge for travel. Country addresses are not always easy to find, so put a line about access and parking in with the board photo you text us. Faults that leave you without power are prioritised for the same day where possible.

Colworth questions
Asked in Colworth
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 earth cable. If it runs to a clamp on the incoming supply cable or a terminal on the cutout, you probably have an earth from the network. If it heads out through the wall or floor towards a rod in the ground, the property is likely to be TT. A photo of the meter area lets us confirm.
Yes. We can replace the house board and either replace the outbuilding board or feed it properly from the new one, depending on the cable, the loads out there and how the earthing is arranged. Detached buildings on TT systems need careful thought, so we work it out on site and agree the price before starting.
Colworth falls under Chichester District Council, even though Bognor Regis, the nearest town, is in Arun. We notify the work through our Part P registration, so you do not need to contact anyone yourself. Expect the Electrical Installation Certificate in your email within 48 hours, with the Building Regulations certificate following on its own.
