FAQs
Electrical in Horley: FAQs
Do you provide electrical across all of Horley?
Yes, we cover the RH6 postcode area in full, including Massetts, Lonsdale, Smallfield, Horley Row, Westvale Park.
Do I need Building Control approval for electrical work?
Notifiable work — such as a full rewire, a new circuit, or a consumer unit change — must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations. A registered electrician can self-certify this through a competent person scheme rather than a separate Building Control application.
How often should a consumer unit be replaced?
There's no fixed replacement interval, but an old fuse box without RCD protection is a common finding on an EICR and is usually recommended for upgrade. We assess the existing unit as part of any electrical survey.
Does living near Gatwick Airport affect planning permission in Horley?
Some development types near the airport are subject to safeguarding consultation with the airport operator as part of the planning process. This does not apply to all projects, and we advise on the specific position for your address.
