Edge-of-town homes and the supplies behind them

Ditchling Common is neither fully town nor fully country. Some homes are close enough to Burgess Hill to share its suburban roads and underground supplies, while others stand further out, with longer cable runs and more exposure to the weather. So one visit can find a standard modern supply, and the next an older rural arrangement with an earth rod.

Either way the core job is the same: take out the old fuse box, fit a consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection and a Type 2 surge device, then test and certify every circuit. What changes is what the testing turns up, and we explain any findings in plain English.

  • Town and rural supplies both handled
  • Old fuse boxes taken out
  • RCD or RCBO protection

West Sussex address, East Sussex common

Much of the open common lies over the boundary in East Sussex, while the homes covered by this page fall inside Burgess Hill parish in West Sussex. Neighbours a short walk apart can therefore come under different councils and carry different postcodes, BN6 or RH15. It sounds like a detail, but it matters when official paperwork is filed.

Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable work, and the notification has to reach the correct local authority. As Part P registered installers we handle it for you, sending it to Mid Sussex District Council for addresses in Burgess Hill parish, or to Lewes District Council if your home is on the East Sussex side.

  • Correct council notified
  • BN6 and RH15 both covered
  • Same price either side of the line
  • Certificate emailed within 48 hours
Getting to you

Reaching the common from the coast

From Brighton & Hove we normally come over the Downs, down through Ditchling and north to the common. Sitting on the edge of town, the common is somewhere we can often reach on the day of a power cut, as long as the call comes in while our lines are open. Planned replacements are booked at a time to suit you, and the journey is not charged for.

Not at all. Postcodes follow Royal Mail delivery routes rather than council boundaries, so a BN6 address can sit in Burgess Hill parish. When we notify Building Control we go by the authority your property actually belongs to. If you are not sure which that is, your council tax bill will tell you.

Often it helps. A single RCD covering many circuits adds together small leakages from every appliance until it trips, and an RCBO board from £625 usually ends that by splitting the load. A trip can also signal a genuine fault, such as damp in an outdoor socket or a failing immersion heater, so we test before blaming the board.

Because mains smoke alarms are fed from a circuit on your board, reconnecting and testing them is included in the work. While the power is off they fall back on their backup batteries. If yours are approaching the end of their ten year life, or chirp regularly, mention it and we will point it out on the day.
