Haywards Heath grew up around its station on the London to Brighton line, and its streets still show it: Victorian villas near the line, steady twentieth century growth, and modern estates on the edges. We replace fuse boards across the town and its villages, with fixed prices and a full test.

Villas by the line, family homes beyond

Before the railway arrived, Haywards Heath was mostly heathland, so much of the town dates from the Victorian period onwards. Substantial villas went up on the roads near the station and Muster Green, followed by Edwardian and interwar houses as commuting grew. Later decades brought estates such as Bentswood and the homes around Franklands Village, along with newer developments on the outskirts of the town.

Close by, Lindfield and Cuckfield are much older villages with medieval and Georgian houses on their high streets. Their wiring stories are different again, often several generations of work in a single property. Whatever the age of the house, we test each circuit during the board change and give you a written record of the results, so you know which parts of the installation are sound and which need attention.

  • Victorian and Edwardian villas
  • Interwar and 1950s family houses
  • Bentswood and Franklands homes
  • Historic Lindfield and Cuckfield houses
  • Modern estates on the town edge
  • All circuits tested and labelled

Rentals in Haywards Heath

Commuter lets close to the station

Fast trains to London and Brighton keep demand for rented homes strong in Haywards Heath, especially within walking distance of the station. Much of that rental stock is in flats, some purpose built and many carved out of larger Victorian houses. The Princess Royal Hospital also brings in staff looking for somewhere close to work. Many tenants stay for several years at a time.

Landlords with several flats can book their boards and EICRs together, and we coordinate access with tenants directly or through your letting agent. If a recent EICR has flagged the board, send us the report along with a photo and we will quote to clear the relevant items. Once the work is done, the retest shows the installation as satisfactory.

  • Flats near the station
  • Hospital staff rentals
  • Multiple flats booked together
  • EICR £99 with a new board
  • Clear paperwork for agents
  • Certificates emailed within 48 hours

One big house, several small boards

When a large Victorian house in Haywards Heath was turned into flats, the original single supply usually had to be split. Sometimes that was done neatly, with separate meters and boards for each flat. Sometimes it was not, and you find boards fed from other boards, meters in shared cupboards and old cables still running between floors. These arrangements are easy to live with until something trips and nobody knows which board controls it.

During a board change we map which supply feeds each flat and the common areas. Each flat ends up with a clearly labelled, independently protected board. Where a flat's board is fed from somewhere it should not be, we explain the options before starting. Freeholders and managing agents receive a clear written account of how the building is now arranged.

  • Each flat's supply traced
  • Shared meter cupboards made tidy
  • Communal areas on their own circuit
  • Boards labelled for every flat
  • Freeholder and leaseholder reports
  • Safe isolation points confirmed
Getting to you

Help on the day in Haywards Heath

Haywards Heath is an easy run from our Brighton base up the A23. If your board is tripping, buzzing or has failed completely, phone us between 8am and 8pm and we will aim to be with you the same day where possible. We will also talk you through switching off the affected circuit so the rest of the house can stay on.

Planned upgrades are booked to suit you. Most boards are swapped and tested in 4 to 6 hours. We let you know when we are on the way, keep disruption to the part of the house where the board is, and take all the old equipment away with us. The certificate is emailed within 48 hours.

Not necessarily, but we need to confirm exactly which meter and supply serves your flat before we touch anything. We trace the cables, check that your new board is fed only from your own meter, and label everything clearly. If we find another flat's circuits running through your board, we will explain what we have found and what it would take to separate them.

The boards themselves are similar, but the houses often are not. Older properties on Lindfield High Street may have been rewired in stages, and some are listed. That makes the testing more important, because it shows which parts of the wiring are newer and which are older. We also keep new cable routes as discreet as possible in historic rooms.

Yes. Many customers leave us a key or let us in early on their way to the station. We will text you when we start, when the power goes off and when it is back on, and send the certificate by email within 48 hours. Just make sure we can reach the board and the meter, and let us know about anything that needs to stay powered, such as a freezer.

Often, yes. Some older houses have the meter and board in a cellar or deep under the stairs where they are hard to reach. Moving the board when you replace it adds £250, and a standalone relocation is £395. The meter itself belongs to your supplier, so if that needs to move as well we will explain the steps involved.

With an RCBO board, each circuit has its own protection, so a fault on one circuit only switches that circuit off instead of half the house. For a busy family home with a lot of appliances, that is a real convenience. A full RCBO 8 way board is £625, and a 10 to 12 way board is £695.
