Cottages and village houses
Small village homes, varied electrics
Homes in this small village span a range of ages and styles, from older cottages to later houses. Some have been modernised throughout, while others still run on a board installed decades ago. A home that has passed through several owners or tenants can end up with a patchwork of circuits that nobody has fully traced in years.
We trace every circuit, label it clearly and fit a consumer unit sized for the home with a little room to spare. A dual RCD board with six ways is the starting point at £425, and surge protection, testing of the whole property and an Electrical Installation Certificate in your inbox within 48 hours come with every job.
- Patchwork circuits traced
- Clear labels on every way
- Room left for future circuits
- Certificate within 48 hours

Landlords and the five yearly EICR
Rural villages often include cottages let to long term tenants. English law requires private landlords to have the electrical installation inspected and tested at intervals of no more than five years, hand tenants a copy of the report, and fix any faults it identifies within the deadline. A fuse box lacking RCD protection often features in that list of remedial work.
We can replace the board and carry out the EICR in one visit, with the report costing just £99 alongside any board. Booked by itself, an EICR costs somewhere between £175 and £350, with larger properties at the upper end. Reports and certificates arrive by email, ready to pass to your tenant and keep on file.
- Board and EICR in one visit
- EICR £99 with any board
- Standalone EICR £175 to £350
- Paperwork ready for tenants

Ripe questions
Asked in Ripe
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Once we have the report and some photos of the board, a fixed price follows. Landlords usually have 28 days, or less if the report says so, to complete remedial work, so we prioritise these bookings. Once the board is fitted you receive the certificate, and written confirmation of the work should then go to your tenant and the local council.
No, though the power will be off for part of the day. Most boards are fitted in four to six hours. We agree a time with you and the tenant, explain what will happen, and test everything before we leave, so the home is usually back to normal by the evening.
Yes. Postcodes follow postal routes rather than council boundaries, so Ripe has a BN8 Lewes address while sitting in Wealden district. It makes no difference to us. We cover all of Sussex at the same fixed prices, and the Part P notification goes to the right Building Control department.
