Older village, newer neighbours

From period houses near the church to later homes

The older part of the village around the church includes houses that have stood for a long time, while later homes on the roads towards Burgess Hill and Wivelsfield Green arrived with twentieth century wiring. Boards here can range from something genuinely old to a 1990s unit with a single RCD covering only half the circuits.

Whichever you have, the job follows the same pattern: photos first, a fixed price, then a day when the old board comes out, the new one goes in and every circuit is tested. Four to six hours covers most changes, Type 2 surge protection going in as standard.

  • Older boards safely removed
  • Half-RCD units upgraded

Getting the paperwork right across the county line

Old Wivelsfield sits just inside East Sussex, with Burgess Hill, in West Sussex, almost on its doorstep. Even Wivelsfield railway station is in Burgess Hill rather than the parish it is named after. That closeness can cause confusion over which council deals with your home, and it matters when electrical work is notified.

Your property is in Lewes District, so our Part P notification goes to the building control authority for Lewes, not Mid Sussex. Get that wrong and the record may not turn up when you come to sell. We check your address details before submitting, and the compliance certificate confirms the authority.

  • Correct council recorded
  • Notification made under Part P
  • Compliance certificate for your files
  • Installation certificate within 48 hours

Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.

Not the price or the work, which are the same anywhere in Sussex. It only affects the paperwork: the notification for your new board goes to the building control authority for Lewes District, because that is where the property is. Your electricity network is UK Power Networks either way, so nothing changes on the supply side.

Old metal switch fuses and boards mounted on timber are signs of a very old installation, often with wiring to match. They can keep working for years, but they give no RCD protection and some parts are hard to isolate safely. We would recommend replacement, and we test the circuits behind it carefully, because cable of that age must be checked before reuse.

Yes, anything powered from the board will be off for part of the day, including the router, the alarm and the boiler controls. Most alarm panels have a backup battery, but if yours reports to a monitoring centre it is worth letting them know. We tell you before we switch off, so you can plan calls and work around it.
