Heacham has a lot of bungalows, a lot of chalets down towards the beach and a large seasonal population, and the electrics reflect that. Boards sit in porches and outbuildings, circuits have been extended over the years to reach summer houses and sheds and plenty of properties sit empty through the winter, which is its own kind of hard on an installation.
A modern consumer unit protects each circuit separately, cuts the power fast if someone gets a shock and includes surge protection for what is plugged in. We check the existing circuits before fitting anything, because a new board will show up faults that an old one quietly tolerated, and it is much better to know that beforehand.
Seasonal property understood
Homes that sit empty over winter behave differently. We check for damp-related problems before fitting the new unit.
Chalets and lets
We work on beach chalets and let property as well as standard housing, and we book around changeover days.
Same-day power back
Most replacements are fitted and tested within the day, with everything back on by the evening.
Your questions, answered
How much does a new fuse box cost in Heacham?
A standard swap is usually £450 to £800. Chalets and properties with added outside circuits vary, so we look first and give you a fixed price.
My chalet trips as soon as I turn it back on in spring, why?
Almost always moisture that has got into an outside circuit or a fitting over the winter. We find the source rather than just resetting it, so it does not happen every year.
Do I need a new board for a holiday let?
There is no rule that says so, but an old rewireable board is a near-certain flag on the property's EICR. Most owners here deal with it at the same time.
Can you fit it while the property is empty?
Yes, that suits us fine. We just need access arranged and we will report back to you with photos and the test results.
