Many decades along one road
From roadside cottages to post-war homes
Herstmonceux has grown over a long period. Older cottages and houses face the main road, while later houses and bungalows fill the roads behind them. That spread of ages shows up inside the meter cupboard: we can find rewireable fuse carriers, early RCD boards with every circuit on a single switch, and plastic consumer units fitted before the rules changed to require metal enclosures in homes.
Whichever you have, the job follows the same pattern. We test the existing circuits first, fit a new metal consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection, then inspect and test the whole installation before we leave. A typical board change fills four to six hours, and the Electrical Installation Certificate lands in your inbox no more than 48 hours later.

Selling or buying with an old board
When a house in Herstmonceux goes on the market, an old board ranks among the first things a buyer's surveyor tends to note. Comments such as 'no RCD protection' or 'recommend inspection by a qualified electrician' can unsettle a sale at an awkward moment. A standalone EICR, from £175, gives buyer and seller a clear written account of the installation's condition.
If the report shows the board needs replacing, we can usually fit the new one within days, and the EICR drops to £99 when it is booked alongside a board change. Sellers get a fresh certificate to pass on; buyers moving in get a safe, clearly labelled board from the first day.
- Standalone EICR from £175
- EICR £99 with a new board
- Paperwork ready for solicitors

Getting to you
Travelling to Herstmonceux
Our installers are based in Brighton & Hove. We usually take the A27 towards Polegate, the A22 up to Hailsham and then the A271 east into the village. You choose the day; we just need photos of the board first so the quote can be fixed. A fault that leaves the house without power goes to the front of the queue, with a visit that day as our aim.

Herstmonceux questions
Asked in Herstmonceux
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. Tell us the date when you text your photos and we will plan the board change before or after it, whichever suits the sale. Your Electrical Installation Certificate comes through by email no later than 48 hours after the work, and the Part P notification goes to Building Control, so the buyer's solicitor has the paperwork and it stays with the property.
Often it is simply out of date, but the gap matters. Rewireable fuses give no protection against electric shock from a damaged cable or faulty appliance, which is exactly what an RCD provides. Very old boards may also be mounted on wooden backing. We tell you honestly what we find, and if a board is dated but sound, we say so.
It depends on how many circuits you have. Two boards suit many family houses: the 10 way dual RCD at £495 and the 10 to 12 way full RCBO at £695. Type 2 surge protection, full testing and certification are included in both. Before you book, we confirm the exact figure from pictures showing the board and the meter.
