Flint, timber and age
Old houses deserve a careful board change
Westdean is a small cluster of older houses, flint being a common building material in this part of the Downs, with very little modern development. Homes like these were never designed with electricity in mind, so cables often run through awkward voids and the board tends to sit wherever the first installer found room.
We protect floors and finishes, keep any new cable runs short and discreet, and reuse existing routes wherever the cable is sound. Where a board has to stay in a visible spot, a neat steel unit with a clean finish is usually far less intrusive than the collection of old fuse boxes it replaces.

- Dust sheets and care
- Existing cable routes reused

Working within a listed home
Westdean lies inside the South Downs National Park, and some of its older buildings may be listed. Replacing a consumer unit like for like rarely affects the character of a listed home, but chasing walls, drilling through historic timber or moving the board can, so we plan those details with you before any work begins.
If your home is listed, check with the local planning authority before any work that alters historic fabric; a straightforward board swap in the same position is a very different proposition from rewiring through old walls. We are happy to provide a written description of the work to help that conversation.
- Listed building awareness
- Board kept in place where possible
- Written scope on request
- Minimal disturbance to fabric

Westdean questions
Asked in Westdean
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691No. West Dean near Chichester is in West Sussex, at the opposite end of the county, and is a separate village altogether. This page is for Westdean in the Cuckmere valley, East Sussex, in the BN25 postcode area. Wherever you live, a given board costs the same and nothing is added for travel.
Usually not for a board change alone. The circuits are disconnected from the old board and reconnected to the new one in the same place, so the work is concentrated around the board itself. Disturbance only spreads further if a circuit fails its tests or the main bonding to water or gas pipes needs upgrading, and we always discuss that with you first.
It covers the new consumer unit and its built in Type 2 surge protection, fitting by our own installers, inspection and testing of the whole installation, the Part P notification to Building Control, and an Electrical Installation Certificate emailed to you inside 48 hours. It also carries our 6 year workmanship guarantee. Dual RCD boards start at £425.
