What a hamlet this size usually holds
No single type of house defines a settlement this small and rural. Homes in this part of Chiddingly parish tend to be detached, with gardens and often a garage, store or stable nearby, and each has its own electrical history. One may have been rewired recently; the one next door may still rely on a fuse box from decades ago.
So we start from your photos rather than assumptions. Pictures of the meter and board, plus any separate switches or boxes close by, show us which board suits the house and whether anything beyond it needs work. Prices begin at £425, for a six way dual RCD board.
- Quotes based on your own photos
- Smaller boards from £425
- Outbuilding feeds included in the test

Backup generators and the right way to connect them
Overhead rural lines are more exposed to storm damage than cables buried under town streets, so in rural parishes a long power cut is more than a theoretical risk. If you keep a portable generator for those occasions, how it connects matters. Feeding it into the house through a socket with a home made lead can make the incoming supply live, putting engineers repairing the line in serious danger.
The safe arrangement is a changeover switch between the meter and the consumer unit, so the house runs from either the mains or the generator, never both. When we replace your board we can lay it out so a changeover switch fits neatly, and explain what the switch and an outside inlet would involve before you decide.
- No socket backfeeding, ever
- Space planned for a changeover switch
- Mains and generator kept separate
- Clear advice before you commit

Holmes's Hill questions
Asked in Holmes's Hill
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Wealden District Council. BN8 carries the Lewes post town because of how Royal Mail organises deliveries, but Building Control follows council boundaries, and Chiddingly parish sits in Wealden. The work is notified under Part P, and the compliance certificate that follows will carry your full address.
Yes, as long as the fridge plugs straight into the generator with its own extension lead and nothing is connected to the house wiring. While we work, the supply to the board is isolated, and a generator feeding into a socket could make our working area live. Tell us beforehand and we will check the arrangement when we arrive.
If you can reach the main switch safely, turn it off and leave it off. Do not touch anything scorched or warm, and do not keep resetting a breaker that trips straight away. After that, give us a call. We will talk you through what is safe to use and arrange the earliest visit we can.
