Housing in Lavant

From flint cottages to modern family homes

Lavant's housing spans several centuries. Flint and brick cottages, typical of villages at the foot of the Downs, stand near larger period houses, while more recent homes fill in around them. With the city so close, plenty of houses have been extended, partly rewired or brought up to date over the years, rarely all in one go.

So the boards in Lavant range from original fuse boxes in houses never fully rewired to newer units that are simply too small for today's appliances. Prices begin at £425 for dual RCD protection, and every job includes surge protection and testing of the whole property, not just the new board.

  • Flint and brick cottages
  • Period and modern homes
  • Undersized boards upgraded
  • Every circuit in the house tested

Groundwater, flooding and where your board sits

The River Lavant is a winterbourne, a chalk stream that can run dry in summer and rise sharply after long wet winters as groundwater climbs. Flooding has been a real worry along the valley in very wet years, and water reaching a property is a particular danger where the meter, board or sockets sit low down.

If water ever reaches your electrics, switch off at the board only if it is safe to do so, and use nothing until it has been inspected. Where a board sits near floor level, raising it during a replacement is worth discussing, and individual RCBOs mean a damp circuit trips on its own instead of taking the house down.

  • Low boards raised where practical
  • RCBOs isolate damp circuits
  • Inspection after any water ingress
  • Straight advice, no pressure

If water reached any part of the installation, yes, before you rely on it again. Even when everything seems to work, moisture can damage cables and accessories in ways that only show up under test. Booked by itself, an EICR costs between £175 and £350 depending on the property, or £99 if done alongside a new board.

Yes, within limits. A board must stay easy to reach, so we avoid putting it so high that resetting a breaker needs a step ladder, but lifting one away from floor level is often sensible in a flood prone spot. Moving a board as part of a replacement adds £250, and we confirm the new position with you first.

Most family homes end up with one of two boards: a dual RCD board, priced from £425, or the full RCBO option, priced from £625, the choice resting on how many circuits you have and how much protection you want. Either one comes with full testing plus Type 2 surge protection. Text us a photo and we will confirm the exact fixed price before anything is booked.
