Victorian and twentieth century
Groombridge's period houses and later homes
The Sussex side of Groombridge is a proper village with a wider range of housing than the hamlets around it, including Victorian houses and plenty of twentieth century homes. Victorian houses were wired long after they were built, often more than once, so their boards can be anything from an old fuse box to a recent unit fitted after a partial rewire.
In a terraced or semi detached house the board is often by the front door or under the stairs, close to the meter, which keeps a replacement straightforward. Many smaller homes are well served by dual RCD protection at £425 upwards, whereas bigger houses often call for full RCBO protection at £625 upwards.
- Older boards in period houses
- Partial rewires tested properly
- Boards sized to the house
- Meter tails checked

Which side of the border are you on?
Groombridge is divided by the stream that forms the county boundary, with one part in Kent and the other in East Sussex. Both share the TN3 postcode, so an address alone does not always make it obvious which council you come under. For the wiring itself that makes no difference, but for Building Control notification the right local authority has to be named.
Homes on the Sussex side fall under Wealden District Council, and that is where we notify the work under Part P. Homes on the Kent side are worth flagging when you first contact us, so we can let you know whether we are able to help. The certificate we email records the address and the authority notified.
- Sussex side: Wealden District Council
- Part P notification handled for you
- Kent side: ask when you call
- Authority recorded on the paperwork

Groombridge questions
Asked in Groombridge
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It might. Every circuit is tested when a board is changed, and a mix of old and new wiring sometimes reveals faults that an old fuse box simply never noticed. If something fails, we explain what it is and price the fix separately, so you can decide. Nothing extra is done without your agreement.
Sometimes. The tails are the thick cables between the meter and the board. Any that are undersized, damaged or of an old type are replaced within the same job. If the main fuse or the meter itself needs attention, we let you know, as only UK Power Networks or your energy supplier can work on those.
Not in content. The Electrical Installation Certificate is identical and still reaches your inbox within 48 hours, while the Part P notification is made in the same way. The only thing that varies is which local authority is recorded, and for homes on the Sussex side of Groombridge that is Wealden District Council.
