Southbourne's housing
Bungalows, semis and brand new streets
Much of Southbourne grew in the second half of the twentieth century, so bungalows, chalet bungalows and modest semis make up a large share of its homes, alongside older houses on the main road. Plenty of these still rely on the board fitted when the house was built or last rewired, often with no RCD protection, or a single RCD that shuts down half the house the moment one appliance develops a fault.
Moving to a board with an RCBO on each circuit means a fault only switches off the circuit it is on. Prices start at £625 for an 8 way RCBO board, or £425 if a dual RCD board suits the house and the budget better.
- Postwar boards replaced
- Single RCD boards upgraded
- RCBO boards from £625
- Loft and extension circuits added

When a new build board runs out of room
Southbourne has taken a good deal of new housing in recent years, so a fair number of homes here are only a few years old. Their boards are compliant, but developers tend to fit the smallest size that does the job. Add an EV charger, a heat pump or a home battery and there may be no spare way left, or the RCD type may not match what the equipment manufacturer specifies.
We look at the load you are planning and tell you honestly whether a surge retrofit at £165, a larger board or no change at all is the answer. If a new board is needed, we size it with spare ways for whatever you add next.
- EV charger ready
- Heat pump circuits planned
- Spare ways left for later
- Honest advice, no upselling
Getting to you
Getting to Southbourne
Our vans head past Chichester on the A27, then take the A259 to Southbourne, and the journey adds nothing to what you pay. Most board changes are booked a few days ahead from a photo quote. Any board that has failed outright is treated as a priority, though, and when you ring about one we aim to send an installer the same day.

Southbourne questions
Asked in Southbourne
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Usually it does not. A new build board only needs changing when you add something it was not designed for, such as an EV charger or heat pump, and there are no spare ways or the RCD type is wrong for the equipment. Sometimes a small change is enough, and if that is the case we will say so rather than sell you a whole board.
Yes, if the board needs upgrading at all. Doing it first means your charger installer connects to a board that is ready, with a spare way and suitable protection. We are happy to coordinate dates with them, and the certificate for the new board records the test results they will want to see.
No. We do not charge for travel anywhere in Sussex, so a Southbourne household pays the same fixed price as one in Hove. The figure we quote from your photos covers the board, surge protection, testing, certification and notification to Building Control.
