From cottages to bungalows

A village of several building periods

The oldest homes in East Preston sit around the parish church and the original village streets, some with flint walls and low ceilings. Around them spread decades of bungalows, chalet bungalows and detached houses, built as the village grew out towards the sea. Each period brings its own kind of board, from a tiny cupboard unit in a cottage to an original fuse board in a postwar home.

Cottage walls make new cable routes harder, so we keep a replacement board in the existing position wherever we can. In the later houses the issue is more often capacity, with showers, kitchens and garden power added onto an old board. A dual RCD unit from £425 or a 10 way board at £495 covers most.

When a survey flags the fuse box

When a home in East Preston is sold, the buyer's survey often picks out an old fuse box as a concern, and a sale can stall while both sides work out what that means. A clear answer helps everyone: either an EICR showing the installation is satisfactory, or a new board backed by an Electrical Installation Certificate and Building Control notification.

We quote from photos, fit most boards within a single working day and email the certificate within 48 hours, which sits comfortably inside the timescale of a typical sale. Buyers can also book us to change a board soon after completion, and sellers living away can arrange access through their estate agent.

  • Standalone EICR from £175

East Preston questions

Asked in East Preston

Still not sure?

Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.

Call 0333 360 8691

Start by texting photos of the board so we can tell you what it is and whether it lacks RCD protection. If it does, a replacement with full certification usually settles the matter quickly. If it looks sound, an EICR on its own, from £175, gives the buyer a professional report instead of a surveyor's general comment.

In most cases, yes. A modern consumer unit is often a similar size to the old one, although a board with more ways may be wider. We check the space from your photos before quoting. If the cupboard is too small or unsuitable, we can talk about moving the board, which adds £250 to the price of the new unit.

You do. We email the Electrical Installation Certificate within 48 hours, and because the work is notified under Part P, a Building Regulations compliance certificate follows separately. Keep both with your house documents, as a buyer's solicitor will ask for them when you eventually sell.
