Flint, brick and later builds
An old village core with newer streets around it
The heart of East Dean is the green, ringed by flint cottages and the Tiger Inn, with the parish church close by. Around that core the village grew through the twentieth century, and the slopes are lined with detached houses and bungalows. So one street can bring a cottage with decades of alterations and the next a house still running its original board.
Many mid century homes still have a wooden backed fuse board, or an early metal unit with rewireable fuses and no RCD at all. Swapping that for a dual RCD consumer unit starts at £425, and every circuit is tested before an Electrical Installation Certificate is emailed to you within 48 hours.
- Wooden backed boards replaced
- Rewireable fuses retired
- Dual RCD boards from £425
- Certificate within 48 hours

Working in flint cottages without the mess
Flint and rubble walls are thick, uneven and slow to chase, and cottages built that way have often been rewired in stages, with cables taking whatever route was easiest. Where we can, the new board goes in the same spot as the old one, so the existing cables reach it and the walls are left alone.
If the board must move, for example out of a damp lobby or a low cupboard, relocation adds £250 to the board price. In listed cottages we keep new cable runs to a minimum and talk you through anything that might touch historic fabric before we start.
- Board kept in place where possible
- Minimal chasing of flint walls
- Relocation adds £250
- Listed homes handled with care
Getting to you
Two ways into East Dean
Usually we come along the A259 from Brighton & Hove, past Seaford and the Seven Sisters Country Park, which brings us down into the village. If the coast road is slow, we take the A27 to Polegate and cut through Eastbourne instead. To book, just text us a few photos. A board that has failed calls for a phone call instead, and we fit in same day visits where we can.

East Dean questions
Asked in East Dean
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Usually not. Replacing a board in the same position means the existing cables are reused and nothing needs chasing. If testing shows a circuit has to be renewed, or the board needs to move, we explain the route we would take and the price before any wall is touched, so there are no surprises.
Yes. We explain each step as we go, keep the power off for as short a time as we can and make sure lights and heating are working before we leave. We are happy to agree the price with you by phone and send the certificate to whichever email address you prefer.
We stop and show you. Every circuit is tested before the new board goes live, and a modern board will not hide a fault the way an old fuse can. Small problems, such as a loose connection or a damaged socket, can often be put right on the day. Anything bigger is priced and agreed with you first.
