Character homes
Flint walls, low ceilings and old wiring routes
Much of East Lavant's appeal lies in its older buildings, including flint cottages of the kind seen in villages along the foot of the Downs. Homes like these were never designed with electricity in mind, so wiring has been threaded through over many decades, sometimes in ways that are hard to trace. Thick walls and old timbers also limit where new cables can sensibly run.
A board change is often the first chance in years to learn how an older cottage is really wired. We test every circuit and record the results, giving you a clear picture before you plan any further work, rather than a nasty surprise halfway through a renovation.
- Flint and brick cottages
- Hard to trace wiring tested
- Findings recorded clearly
- Careful, tidy working

Discreet work in older and listed properties
If your home is listed, the building itself is protected, and visible alterations may need consent. Replacing a consumer unit like for like in the same position normally changes very little you can see, but new cable runs, surface trunking or a relocated board can be a different matter. If you are unsure, Chichester District Council's conservation team can advise.
We keep our footprint small. The new board goes where the old one was unless you ask otherwise, existing cable routes are reused where they test sound, and any new runs are agreed with you before we start. Dust sheets go down, and the room is left as we found it.
- Board kept in the same place
- Sound cable routes reused
- New runs agreed first
- Dust sheets and a tidy finish

East Lavant questions
Asked in East Lavant
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Listed building consent concerns changes that affect a building's character. Swapping a consumer unit in the same spot usually has little visible impact, but every listing is different, so if you plan to move the board or run new cables, check with the council's conservation team first. We are happy to describe the work in writing so you can ask.
For a straight board replacement, usually not. We connect the existing circuits to the new consumer unit and test them. Floors and walls only come into it if a circuit has to be extended or replaced, and then we talk through the route and the cost with you before any work starts.
Rubber insulated cable, common before the 1960s, often fails insulation tests because the rubber breaks down with age. If we find it, we will not simply connect it to a new board and walk away. We show you the readings and explain which circuits need rewiring, so you can plan that work properly.
