What we do in Horsham

Consumer units fitted across Horsham

Pick the level of protection that suits your home. Horsham families adding extensions, induction hobs or car chargers often go for a full RCBO board, so one fault never takes out half the house.

Horsham homes

Terraces, semis and estates in one town

Horsham grew in layers. The Causeway and the streets around the Carfax hold some of its oldest buildings, the area near the railway filled with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and the twentieth century brought semis and then large estates in places like Roffey, Holbrook and Littlehaven. Each era arrives with its own kind of fuse board, from wooden backed fuse carriers to early plastic split load units.

The newest homes, at Broadbridge Heath, Kilnwood Vale and the developments north of the town, already have modern boards. Elsewhere, a board from the 1980s or 1990s often lacks RCD protection on some circuits, which is the most common reason we recommend an upgrade here. Older terraces near the town centre sometimes still have a fuse board alongside a separate cooker switch box.

Rentals for commuters and young families

Horsham's rental market is driven by its rail links to London and Gatwick, its schools and its business parks. Much of the stock is ordinary family housing, terraces near the station and estate homes further out, along with flats in the town centre. Tenants here tend to stay a while, which means a board can go many years without anyone checking it between tenancies.

When an EICR comes back with a C2 against the consumer unit, we can quote from a photo, fit the new board and retest so the report is satisfactory. Agents get one clear set of paperwork. Tenants are told in advance when the power will be off, and we keep fridges and freezers in mind so nobody comes home to a defrosted kitchen.

Extensions and upgrades

When the extension outgrows the board

Plenty of Horsham homes have been extended, had lofts converted or kitchens rebuilt, and each project tends to add circuits to whatever board was already there. Before long the old unit is full, circuits are doubled up on single fuses, and there is no space left for a car charger or a new shower. Building work is also a common moment for an electrician to spot that the existing board is not up to standard.

If you are planning works, fitting the new board first gives your builder and electrician spare ways to connect to. We size the board for the circuits you have now and the ones you are planning. It also means the new circuits are protected from day one, and Building Control is notified under Part P so the paperwork is in order when you come to sell.

Getting to you

Fast help when a Horsham board fails

A board that keeps tripping, buzzes or smells of burning needs attention quickly. Our phones are answered from 8am to 8pm every day, and we aim to reach Horsham the same day where possible. If an RCD is tripping, we will ask a few questions on the phone first, because unplugging the right appliance sometimes gets your power back straight away.

For planned upgrades we book a date that works for you. Most boards take 4 to 6 hours, so you are only without power for part of the day. We text when we are on the way, keep the work area tidy, and walk you through the new board before we leave.

Usually before, or at the start of the electrical first fix. A new board with spare ways means the extension circuits can be connected properly instead of squeezed onto an old unit. It also means the existing wiring is tested before your builder covers anything up. Tell us about the plans when you send your photo and we will suggest a board size with room to spare.

Not automatically, but boards of that age often have RCD protection on only some circuits, or none at all, and many are plastic units that no longer meet the current requirement for non-combustible enclosures. A board change brings everything under RCD or RCBO protection and adds surge protection. We also test every circuit, so you find out the condition of the original wiring at the same time.

Often you do, either because there is no spare way or because the existing board cannot provide the right protection. Charger installers frequently find this during their survey. We can fit a board with a spare way and the correct protection ready for the charger circuit, so the charger installer can connect to it. Our full RCBO 10 to 12 way board is £695.

Yes. Many of our landlord jobs are arranged directly with the letting agent. They can text us a photo of the board for a fixed price, arrange access with the tenant and receive the certificate by email. If you want an EICR at the same time it is £99 with any board change, which keeps your paperwork in one place.

Many Southwater houses from the 1980s and 1990s have boards that are now thirty or more years old, and some have RCD protection on only part of the installation. Newer homes are usually fine, though owners sometimes upgrade to a full RCBO board to stop one fault tripping several circuits. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth changing.
