Old cottages to later homes

An old village with houses of every age

Icklesham is an old village, with the Norman church of All Saints at its heart, and its houses range from old cottages and farmhouses to twentieth century homes along the main road and the roads off it. Older properties here have usually been rewired at least once, though not always completely, so different generations of cable can sit side by side.

That matters when we fit a new board, because the board is only part of the picture. Our testing covers every circuit, old and new, and we tell you plainly which parts of the wiring are sound and which are nearing the end of their life.

  • Plain advice on what can stay

The missing earth on older lights

Houses wired before the mid 1960s often have lighting circuits with no earth conductor at all, because lights did not need one under the rules of the day. When a later owner rewired the sockets and kitchen but left the lights alone, those unearthed circuits stayed hidden behind the plaster. With metal light fittings or switches, that is a genuine safety concern.

We find these circuits during testing and explain the options, from fitting suitable plastic accessories to rewiring the lighting. RCD protection on the new board reduces the risk while you decide. If you want everything recorded properly, a full EICR alongside the board costs £99.

Usually not. Most homes can have a new board fitted to their existing wiring, provided the circuits pass testing. If one fails, we explain why, and you can choose to have it repaired, rewire just that part, or leave it disconnected until you are ready. We never connect a circuit we know to be dangerous.

No. It was normal practice when the wiring was installed, and current wiring regulations are not applied retrospectively to older homes. It does mean metal light fittings and switches should not be used on those circuits. We will show you which circuits are affected and what we would recommend.

Yes. They share Icklesham parish, and we cover all of them, along with the rest of Sussex, at the same fixed prices with no travel charge. Each has its own housing mix, from the old town houses of Winchelsea to the low lying homes near the beach, and we plan each board accordingly.
