Along the village street
Old cottages, newer houses, one street
Wilmington is a compact village, much of it gathered between the main road and the church and priory at its southern end. Older cottages sit alongside later houses. In properties of that age it is common to find a board that has been replaced once, sitting in front of wiring from several different decades.
One thing to look out for in older homes is lighting wired before earth conductors became standard on lighting circuits. Metal fittings or switches on those circuits need attention before a new board goes in. Our tests pick this up, and we explain exactly which rooms are affected and what putting them right involves.

- Lighting earths checked
- Metal fittings flagged
- Every room tested

Holiday lets and visitors
Keeping a let property safe and booked
The Long Man draws walkers and visitors to Wilmington, with the South Downs Way crossing the hill above it, and some homes in the area are let as holiday cottages. Guests use a property harder than most owners: showers, heaters, chargers and cooking all at once, often without knowing where the board is. Clear labels and modern protection help everyone.
Holiday lets fall outside the five yearly EICR rule for private tenancies, but owners still need to keep the electrics safe, and insurers and booking platforms may ask for evidence. An EICR alongside a new board is £99. We book around your changeovers, so the work happens between guests rather than during a stay.
- Work booked between guests
- EICR £99 with a new board
- Plain labels for visitors
- Certificates for your records

Wilmington questions
Asked in Wilmington
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. Tell us your changeover days and we will book the board change for a gap between guests, starting early so the property is powered and tested well before the next arrival. If you cannot be there yourself, tell us who will let us in.
It depends on the fittings. Plastic switches and non-metallic light fittings on an unearthed circuit are not an immediate hazard, but metal ones can become live under fault conditions with no earth path to clear the fault. We identify every affected point during testing and explain the options, from changing fittings to rewiring the circuit.
For most cottages, a full RCBO board is the one we suggest, from £625 for 8 ways. Each circuit has its own protection, so a fault in the kitchen does not take the lights off with it. Where budget comes first, a dual RCD board is a sound, compliant alternative, priced from £425.
