Heathfield homes

Town houses and Wealden cottages

Heathfield grew up along its ridge around the High Street after the railway arrived in the late nineteenth century, so there are Victorian and Edwardian houses near the centre with twentieth century estates around them. Outside the town, the parish and its neighbours are scattered with farmhouses, tile hung and timber framed cottages and converted barns, many of them altered several times over the centuries.

Rural cottages tend to have the most varied electrics, with wiring added as outbuildings were converted and boards replaced piecemeal. In town, the usual picture is a family house with an older board that lacks full RCD protection. Both are straightforward to upgrade once we know what is there, and a photo is usually enough to start.

Letting in Heathfield

Cottages, family homes and holiday lets

Rental property around Heathfield ranges from family houses in town to rural cottages and converted barns, some let long term and some as holiday accommodation for visitors to the High Weald and the Cuckoo Trail. Farm and estate cottages are sometimes let to workers or local families, often by owners who look after several properties at once and want one reliable firm.

For long lets, an EICR is required at least every five years. We provide standalone EICRs from £175 to £350, or £99 with a board change. Rural lets often rely on a TT earth, so the electrode reading is recorded and you will know if it needs attention before it becomes a problem.

Rural supplies

Overhead lines and TT earthing

Many properties around Heathfield are supplied by overhead lines rather than underground cables, and these are often set up as TT systems: the network does not provide an earth, so the property relies on its own earth rod. Some homes also sit off the gas grid and lean more heavily on electricity for heating and hot water, which adds load to the board.

On a TT system, RCD protection is what disconnects the supply when there is an earth fault, so the consumer unit matters even more. With every Heathfield board change we test the earth electrode, fit RCD or RCBO protection to every circuit and include Type 2 surge protection, which is worth having on rural overhead lines.

  • Earth rod resistance tested
  • RCD on every circuit
  • Surge protection included
  • Electric heating loads checked
  • Outbuilding feeds tested

Getting to you

Getting out to Heathfield

Heathfield is in the middle of East Sussex, north of Hailsham and east of Uckfield, and our installers cover it alongside the rest of the Wealden district. If your power has failed, a board is scorched or a trip will not reset, ring us between 8am and 8pm any day. We will aim to reach you the same day where possible and make everything safe first.

If the problem turns out to be the overhead line or the supply itself, that belongs to UK Power Networks. We will tell you, and you can report it free on 105. In a power cut, check whether your neighbours are off too.

Yes, every time. On a TT system the earth rod is a key part of the protection, and its resistance is measured and recorded on your certificate. If the reading is too high, or the rod is damaged or missing, we explain the options before connecting the new board, because fitting a board to a poor earth would not be safe.

It affects the layout. Storage heaters normally run on a separate off-peak supply, sometimes from a second board or a dedicated group of ways. We make sure those circuits are correctly protected and labelled in the new arrangement and that the off-peak switching still works. Tell us about your tariff and heating when you send your photo, so we can plan it properly.

Yes. Horam, Waldron, Cross in Hand, Broad Oak, Punnetts Town, Rushlake Green and the other villages around Heathfield are all in our area at the same fixed prices. Many of these homes are on overhead supplies, so we bring the equipment needed for earth electrode testing as standard on every visit.

It is included on every board we fit, so it is not an extra decision. Surge protection helps protect electronics, boiler controls and appliances from transient overvoltages, which can come from lightning activity or switching on the network. If your existing consumer unit is modern and in good condition, we can retrofit Type 2 surge protection for £165.

Yes. We test the sub-main cable between the buildings, check its protection at the house end and replace the barn's board if needed. A converted barn may need its own earth electrode depending on the earthing system and how it is supplied, which we assess at the time. Send photos of both boards and we will price them together.
