Large houses by the beach

Generous houses, growing electrical loads

Kingston Gorse is a hamlet rather than a village: a small group of substantial detached houses close to the beach. Homes like these often carry more circuits than their original board was designed for, from kitchen islands and underfloor heating to garden offices and gates, and an older board can be completely full, with nowhere left to add anything without a second enclosure.

In houses of this size we normally recommend an RCBO board with 14 to 16 ways at £795: each circuit then has its own protection, with space left for more. If you want arc fault detection as well, a 14 way RCBO and AFDD board is £1,295. Both include surge protection and testing of the whole installation.

  • Full boards replaced with larger units
  • Underfloor heating circuits protected
  • Garden office supplies checked
  • Spare ways left for future loads

Heat pumps and EV charging

Will your supply cope with a heat pump and a car charger?

Add a heat pump, an EV charger and an induction hob to a house that already runs electric showers, and the question is no longer only about the board. The main fuse, the meter tails and the incoming cable all have limits too. Plenty of homes have a 60 or 80 amp main fuse, and a busy, largely electric house may need 100 amps.

When you send photos, include the meter and the sealed cut-out beside it so we can try to read the fuse rating. If an upgrade looks necessary, we explain how to apply to UK Power Networks, fit tails sized for the higher rating and leave the right spare ways for the new equipment.

  • Main fuse rating checked
  • Meter tails sized for 100 amps
  • Heat pump and EV ways planned
  • Load considered before quoting

It usually makes sense to plan all three together. The new board can be fitted with dedicated ways for each, and we can check whether your main fuse is large enough before either is installed. Doing the board first means the heat pump and charger installers connect to ready, labelled breakers rather than adding extra enclosures beside the old one.

An AFDD watches for the electrical signature of arcing, such as a damaged cable or a loose connection behind a socket, and switches the circuit off before it can start a fire. It is optional in most homes, but some owners choose it for peace of mind, particularly where cables run through timber floors and roof spaces. A 10 way RCBO and AFDD board starts at £1,095.

No. We charge nothing for travel anywhere in Sussex, and quoting from photos costs nothing either. From pictures showing your board and meter, we work out a fixed price covering the new unit, Type 2 surge protection, testing of the whole property, certification and the Building Control notification.
