A village that kept growing
From cottages to cul-de-sacs in Copthorne
Copthorne is a sizeable village rather than a hamlet, and its housing reflects steady growth: older cottages and houses, roads of 20th century semis and detached homes, and more recent building besides. That spread means the board in a Copthorne home could be anything from a wooden backed fuse box to a plastic consumer unit from the 2000s.
Since 2016, consumer units in homes have needed a non-combustible enclosure, so plastic boards fitted before then fall short of today's standard. Old fuse boxes and early plastic units both make way for steel boards, starting at £425 for a dual RCD board with 6 ways or £575 for a 12 way high integrity unit.
- Wooden backed fuse boxes out
- Plastic boards swapped for steel
- 6 way dual RCD from £425
- 12 way high integrity £575
Specified for CopthorneWhich council gets told
Which council gets told
Mid Sussex, not Crawley, for Building Control
Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations, so Building Control at the local council must be told. With an RH10 postcode shared with east Crawley, it is easy to assume Crawley Borough Council is responsible. It is not: Copthorne is in Mid Sussex, and that is where the notification for your home belongs.
As a Part P registered business, we notify the correct authority for you once the work is done. You then receive a Building Regulations compliance certificate, worth filing with your Electrical Installation Certificate, because a buyer's solicitor will usually ask for both when you sell.
- Notified to the right council
- Compliance certificate to keep
- EIC emailed within 48 hours
- Ready for a future sale

Copthorne questions
Asked in Copthorne
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691You receive two documents. The Electrical Installation Certificate arrives by email inside 48 hours, while the Building Regulations compliance certificate comes separately after we notify Mid Sussex District Council of the work under Part P. Keep them together, as they are what a buyer or insurer would expect to see.
It is not automatically dangerous, but it falls short of the current requirement for a non-combustible enclosure, and boards of that era often share one or two RCDs across every circuit. If it tests well, there is no rush. If you are extending, adding a charger or suffering nuisance trips, a steel board is the sensible next step.
Most boards are fitted in 4 to 6 hours, including testing the whole property. A bigger house with more circuits, outbuildings or a separate garage board takes longer to test, so we may start early and plan for a full day. You will know the expected timing when we confirm the booking.
