Old parish name, BN42 homes
Fuse Box Replacement in Kingston by Sea
Kingston by Sea is the older name for the parish between Southwick and Shoreham, also known as Kingston Buci. For homes on the BN42 side, just north of Southwick, an old fuse box can be swapped, at a price fixed in advance, for a new board with surge protection built in, leaving you with a certificate that settles awkward survey questions.

Older boards in well-kept houses
Homes here are mostly settled family houses and bungalows from the last century, many owned for years and carefully maintained. The fuse box is often the one thing that has never changed: rewirable fuses, a cartridge fuse unit or an early RCD board that predates current standards. It still works, so nobody thinks about it until a sale, a remortgage or a new tenancy brings it up.
A new consumer unit brings the board itself up to current standards in a single day for most homes. You get the Electrical Installation Certificate, Building Control notification and a test record for every circuit, which together answer most questions a buyer's surveyor or solicitor is likely to raise.
- Rewirable and cartridge fuse boards replaced
- Building Control notification supplied
- Test results for every circuit
- Most boards fitted in 4 to 6 hours

When paperwork turns up an old fuse box
Homebuyer surveys routinely flag an old fuse box and recommend an electrician's inspection, which can slow a sale. If you are selling, replacing the board beforehand and keeping the certificate removes that question. Buyers can send us the board as it appears in the listing photos or a snap from a viewing, and we will turn it into a fixed price to negotiate with.
For landlords in England, the rule is an Electrical Installation Condition Report on each rental at intervals of five years or less. Booked with a board change, the EICR is £99; booked alone, it runs from £175 to £350 according to the size of the property. Any items the report codes for attention can be priced at the same time.
- Board replaced before you list
- Fixed prices from listing photos
- Landlord EICR £99 with a board
- Remedial items priced up front

Kingston by Sea questions
Asked in Kingston by Sea
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Start by photographing both the meter and the board for us. From those pictures we can say plainly whether the board needs replacing or a condition report would be enough for the buyer, and fix a price for whichever it is. If the board is replaced, the certificate and Building Control notification can go straight to your solicitor.
They are two names for the same old parish between Southwick and Shoreham-by-Sea, and the area spans both the BN42 and BN43 postcode districts. Whichever name you use, the service, prices and no travel charge policy are exactly the same, and we cover all of Southwick and Shoreham around it as well.
A typical replacement, testing included, is finished within 4 to 6 hours. We can agree a time with your tenants, explain what will happen, and restore power before we leave. Within 48 hours you will have the certificate by email, ready to file alongside your other safety documents.
