Goring-by-Sea grew from a small village into Worthing's western suburb, and many of its homes date from the interwar and postwar decades. If your home still has its original fuse box or an early plastic board, we replace it with an RCD protected consumer unit at a fixed price.

Semis, bungalows and seafront flats

Interwar and postwar homes across BN12

Goring's housing is largely suburban: semi-detached houses, detached bungalows and chalet bungalows on wide, quiet roads, with flats closer to the seafront. A typical 1930s semi has its meter and board under the stairs or in a cupboard by the front door. Many have been rewired at least once, then had circuits added piecemeal as new kitchens, electric showers and garden power arrived.

On these homes we commonly find a rewirable fuse board, an MCB unit with no RCD at all, or a split load board that leaves half the circuits unprotected. Most smaller semis and flats are well served by dual RCD protection, starting at £425, whereas a loft room or rear extension often calls for a 10 way board at £495.

Panels on the roof, a battery in the garage

Suburban roofs along this sunny stretch of coast suit solar panels, and home batteries and EV chargers are increasingly common additions in Goring. Each one has to connect to your consumer unit, and an old board often has no free space, no suitable protection and no surge device. The usual workaround is a separate small enclosure fitted beside it, which leaves a cluster of boxes that is hard to make sense of.

When we replace the board we bring these supplies back into one properly labelled unit, each on a breaker and RCD type that suits the equipment. Type 2 surge protection is included. If panels or a battery are planned rather than fitted, ask us to leave spare ways so the installer has room.

  • Solar PV supply on its own breaker
  • Battery and inverter circuits
  • A spare way kept for an EV charger
  • Surge protection included

Not if the change is planned properly. We isolate the solar supply safely before starting, connect it to its own labelled breaker on the new board and check that the inverter restarts once power is restored. If the panels are still under an installer's warranty, keep their paperwork to hand so we can note how the system is connected.

Usually not for the consumer unit inside your own flat, as it serves only your circuits. Check your lease, though, as some ask for notice of electrical works, and tell us if the meter and main fuse sit in a shared cupboard so access can be arranged. Communal lighting and landlord supplies are a separate matter for the managing agent.

It can. Every board change includes testing the whole installation, so if old rubber or lead sheathed cable is still in use, or a circuit fails its insulation test, we tell you before connecting it. Often the wiring tests well and the board goes in as planned, but either way you get honest results and a written certificate.
