Seaford homes
Bungalows, Edwardian villas and seafront flats
Seaford grew as a seaside resort from the late Victorian era, and the streets near the town centre and seafront still have large Victorian and Edwardian houses, many now divided into flats. Further out, Chyngton, East Blatchington and the roads towards Bishopstone are dominated by mid and late twentieth century bungalows and detached houses, while blocks of flats line parts of the Esplanade.
Bungalows from the 1950s to the 1970s often still have their original board, or a first replacement with limited RCD protection. Flats in converted villas tend to have boards squeezed into hall cupboards, sometimes a long way from the meter. We size the new unit to the home, not the other way round.

- Compact boards for small cupboards

Seaford rentals
Retirement flats and long term lets
Seaford's rented homes include retirement flats, flats in converted seafront houses and family homes let to people moving down from London or across from Brighton. Retirement and sheltered developments are usually run by a managing agent or housing provider, and individual flats are sometimes let out by owners or their families. Each route has its own way of getting electrical work approved.
For private landlords, a satisfactory EICR every five years is a legal requirement. We carry these out from £175 to £350, or for £99 alongside a board change. If you own a flat in a managed block, tell us who the agent is and we will work with them on access and any communal supply questions.

- Managing agents kept informed

A board change that is easy to live through
Many Seaford homeowners have lived in the same house for decades and have never had reason to think about the fuse box. Changing it means the power will be off for part of the day, and that matters more when someone relies on a stairlift, a riser chair, an electric bed or medical equipment, or simply finds disruption at home unsettling.
We plan around that. We tell you in advance roughly when the supply will be off, keep the outage as short as we can and, where needed, bring essential circuits back first. The new board is clearly labelled, and before we leave we show you how to reset a tripped circuit.
- Outage times agreed in advance
- Essential circuits restored first
- Stairlift and medical needs planned
- Clear labels in plain words
- Shown how to reset a trip
- Family can join by phone
Getting to you
Help in Seaford the same day
Seaford is at the eastern end of the coast road from Brighton, beyond Newhaven, and well within our working area. If you have no power, a board that keeps tripping or a fuse box that feels hot to the touch, ring us between 8am and 8pm any day. We aim to reach you the same day where possible, make the installation safe and talk through what happens next.
If you are elderly or vulnerable, it is also worth joining the Priority Services Register with UK Power Networks, which offers extra support during power cuts on the network. It is free, and a family member can sign up on your behalf.

Seaford questions
Fuse box questions from Seaford
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre. No pressure, no hard sell.
Call 0333 360 8691Tell us when you book. We plan the job so the stairlift is not needed while the supply is off, agree timings with her or with you beforehand, and reconnect and test that circuit early once the new board is in. Many stairlifts run on batteries that cover short outages, but it is worth checking hers is fully charged. We are happy to keep a family member updated by phone during the visit.
Not automatically, but it will not have the RCD protection that is now standard, and rewirable fuses are easy to repair with the wrong wire. Replacing it with a dual RCD board from £425 or an RCBO board from £625 brings it up to date. Our full test also shows whether the wiring behind it is fit to stay in use.
Usually not for the board inside your flat, but check your lease, as some require notice of alterations. If the meter or isolator is in a communal area, access may need arranging through the managing agent. Give us their details and we will coordinate with them, so the work is not held up on the day.
Yes. Alfriston, Litlington and the homes around Exceat are a short drive from Seaford and inside our area. Older cottages in the valley can have different supply and earthing arrangements from houses in town, so we check those at the start and include any earth electrode testing in the price.
An old fuse box is often picked up on a buyer's survey, and it can become a point of negotiation. Replacing it before you sell means you can show buyers a recent Electrical Installation Certificate and Building Control notification, along with a tested installation. Send a photo and we will give you a fixed price to weigh up.
