Roadside houses and the lanes behind

Homes at John's Cross sit along the A21 and the lanes leading off it, a small mix of houses of different ages. Older properties have often been extended or reorganised over the years, and the electrics can show it: a board in the hall, another in an extension, and circuits whose route nobody quite remembers.

We untangle that before fitting anything. Each circuit is identified, tested and labelled, and where two boards can sensibly become one, we say so. Most households fit comfortably on a full RCBO board, which starts at £625 and protects every circuit independently.

  • Multiple boards combined where sensible
  • Untraced circuits identified
  • Independent protection for each circuit
  • Clear labels on the new board

Landlord rules and the ageing fuse box

Anyone letting a house or cottage at John's Cross falls under the rules for private landlords in England, which call for a fresh Electrical Installation Condition Report within every five year period, with a copy handed to your tenants. An old fuse box can lead to findings on that report which must be put right, usually within 28 days.

Replacing the board between tenancies is the tidiest answer. We fit it, test the whole property and email the certificates within 48 hours. Add an EICR for £99 alongside the board and you have the full report your letting agent or tenant will expect. Standalone EICRs run from £175 to £350.

  • EICR at least every five years for lets
  • £99 EICR alongside a new board
  • Certificates emailed within 48 hours
  • Ideal timing between tenancies
Getting to you

Straight up the A21 to you

Our installers come through Battle and on to the A21, so the hamlet is simple to find, though the main road is busy and off-road space for our van helps if you have it. Photos of your board are enough for us to fix the price in advance. Lost power or noticed burning? Ring us, and we will offer same day help wherever we can.

No more than five years should pass between inspections on a private let in England, and the gap is shorter if the previous report says so. You must give the report to your tenants and keep a copy for the next inspector. An EICR booked by itself costs £175 to £350, the exact figure set by the property, or £99 if we are replacing the board at the same time.

Yes. Give your tenants proper notice and let them know the power will be off for most of the day, usually four to six hours. We work tidily, explain the new board to whoever is at home, and send the certificates to you as the landlord, so your records stay complete.

Anything that poses an immediate danger is made safe before we leave, with your agreement, even if that means isolating a circuit. We then explain the finding and give you a fixed price to put it right properly. Less urgent observations are written up clearly so you can plan the work around your tenants.
