Cottages to contemporary houses

Old village cottages and modern loads

West Wittering has an older village centre around its church, with cottages and period houses, alongside substantial detached homes and plenty of twentieth century houses and bungalows. Many have been extended and updated, and newer additions such as EV chargers, heat pumps, garden rooms and hot tubs each want a protected circuit of their own.

A board with eight or ten ways can run out of room quickly once those loads arrive. We size the new consumer unit with spare ways and, where a home is adding big loads, check the main fuse rating and incoming supply so the board is not the only part of the plan.

  • Spare ways for future circuits
  • EV charger circuits planned
  • Heat pump supplies considered
  • Main fuse rating checked

Second homes and holiday lets by the beach

Some coastal homes in villages like West Wittering are second homes or holiday lets, busy in summer and quiet for long spells in between. An empty property still has a fridge, an alarm, heating controls and perhaps frost protection running. If an old board trips one RCD while nobody is there, all of that can be off for days before anyone notices.

Individual RCBO protection means one faulty appliance only switches off its own circuit. For owners who are not local, we can work through a key safe or key holder, send photos when we finish and email the certificates. An EICR for letting can be added for £99.

  • RCBO boards for empty homes
  • Key safe and key holder access
  • Photos sent on completion
  • EICR £99 with a board
Getting to you

Planning around the beach traffic

Our route to West Wittering runs along the A27 to Chichester and then south down the peninsula. On hot summer days the roads to the beach can be very slow, so where we can we book early starts or quieter weekdays. For a total power cut, phone us; our aim in that case is a visit the very same day.

Not always, but often. An EV charger needs a dedicated circuit with suitable protection, and an older board may have no free way or the wrong type of RCD. We can fit a new consumer unit with a way ready for the charger installer, and check your main fuse rating so you know early whether the supply needs upgrading.

For a property that is often empty or used by guests, we think so. With a dual RCD board, one fault can switch off half the house. With RCBOs, only the faulty circuit goes off, so the fridge, alarm and heating keep running. Full RCBO boards start at £625 for 8 ways and £695 for 10 to 12 ways.

Someone needs to let us in and, ideally, be around at the start so we can agree names for the circuit labels. After that the work carries on with the power off for most of the visit. Owners who live elsewhere often arrange access through a key holder or key safe instead, and we message when we finish.
