Why every Hawkhurst Common house gets a full test

Like most hamlets, Hawkhurst Common is made up of a small number of rural homes rather than a planned estate, so there is no typical installation. One house may still have a board of wire fuses, another an early consumer unit, another a modern board fitted when the property was extended. We arrive expecting nothing and test everything.

Testing tells us whether the existing cables can carry on safely under a modern board with RCD protection. Where they can, the change is quick. Where they cannot, we show you the readings and the options before any work goes ahead. A 12 way high integrity dual RCD board starts from £575.

  • Readings shown, not hidden

  • High integrity boards from £575

Surge protection for homes on country lines

Rural electricity often arrives on overhead lines across open ground, and those lines are exposed to lightning, falling branches and switching on the network. Each can send a brief voltage spike into a house. Modern homes are full of electronics that dislike spikes, from boiler controls and broadband routers to televisions and induction hobs.

Those spikes are sent harmlessly to earth by the Type 2 surge protection that goes into each board we fit. If your consumer unit is already modern, in good order and able to take it, we can add surge protection on its own for £165 rather than replacing the whole board.

  • Type 2 protection on every board
  • Surge retrofit for £165
  • Boiler controls and routers protected
  • Earth path checked as part of it
Getting to you

Getting to Hawkhurst Common

To reach Hawkhurst Common we travel out from Brighton & Hove through Lewes and on towards Halland, and we never add a travel charge. We fix the cost from a couple of photos, the board in one and the meter in the other, and you then pick a day that suits. After a storm, or when a switch refuses to reset, ring us, and a visit that day is what we push for.

Yes. Hawkhurst Common, in East Hoathly with Halland parish with a BN8 postcode, is well within our East Sussex area. Hawkhurst the town lies over the border in Kent and is a different place altogether. An address here pays the same fixed Sussex prices as anywhere else, with nothing added for the journey.

No device can promise that. Type 2 surge protection is designed for the far more common spikes that travel along the supply after lightning nearby or switching on the network. It greatly reduces the risk to electronics in the house, and current wiring regulations call for it on most new installations.

It depends what goes off. If only your house is affected and a switch on the board has dropped, the fault is usually inside the property, and we can find it. If the whole lane is dark, it is a network fault for UK Power Networks, who you can reach by calling 105. Text us if you are unsure.
