FAQs
Outdoor Electrics in Worthing: FAQs
Do you provide outdoor electrics across all of Worthing?
Yes, we cover the BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14 postcode areas in full, including Tarring, Broadwater, Durrington, Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley, Heene.
Do you use armoured cable for outdoor circuits?
Yes, this is standard practice for underground runs to outbuildings, protecting the cable against accidental damage and the demands of an outdoor installation.
How deep does an outdoor cable need to be buried?
This depends on the cable type and where it's routed — for example under a lawn versus a driveway. We follow current guidance and mark the route so you know where it runs.
Are Worthing's seafront buildings protected?
Many of the town's notable Art Deco and Edwardian seafront buildings are listed or within conservation areas, which affects what external changes can be made without consent. We check this for individual properties.
