Old walls, old wiring routes
What sits behind a flint cottage's fuse box
Houses in East Marden are largely traditional: flint and brick walls, low ceilings, timber floors and roof spaces that have seen several rounds of alteration. Wiring in buildings like these tends to follow whatever routes earlier electricians could find, so the fuse box is often tucked under the stairs, inside a cupboard or high on a wall by the front door.
Because a board change reuses your existing circuits, we rarely need to disturb walls at all. The new consumer unit goes where the old one was, or somewhere better if you prefer, and we test the insulation of each circuit, taking extra care over the oldest cables in the house.
- Existing circuits reused where sound
- No chasing of walls for a straight swap
- Oldest cables tested with care
- Dust sheets and a tidy finish

Changing a board without harming old fabric
Some homes in and around the Mardens are listed, and many more are simply old enough to deserve a gentle approach. Swapping a consumer unit in the same position does not normally change the character of a building, but new cable routes through old walls, beams or panelling can, so we plan any extra work with the building in mind.
If your house is listed and a new cable is needed, we suggest routes that avoid cutting into historic material and tell you when it is worth checking with the planning authority first. Where the board needs to move as well, relocation alongside a new board adds £250.

Although we are based over in Brighton & Hove, the hamlet costs no more to reach than anywhere else we cover. The usual route is the A27 to Chichester, then north into the Downs and along the lanes to the Mardens. Photos by text are enough to book you in, and if a board refuses to reset, phone us, any day, and we will help that same day if we can.

East Marden questions
Asked in East Marden
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691For a straightforward board change, almost never. The new consumer unit connects to the circuits you already have, so the work happens at the board position. Cutting into walls only comes up if a new cable is needed, and even then we look for routes through floors, roof spaces or behind skirting first.
Swapping a board in the same position is usually minor work, but whether consent is needed depends on the building and what the work touches. If new cable routes or fixings would affect historic fabric, it is sensible to ask the planning authority first. We point out anything that might need checking before you book.
Very little. We lay dust sheets from the door to the board, keep tools and old equipment out of your rooms, and vacuum before we leave. If the board moves, small fixing holes at the old position are filled. Redecoration is not included, but we tell you beforehand exactly what will be visible.
