Village beside the A23
Fuse Box Replacement in Albourne
Albourne is a small Mid Sussex village with a parish of its own, tucked beside the A23 south west of Burgess Hill. A worn out fuse box and a planned car charger are both good reasons for a modern consumer unit, which we fit at a fixed price and follow with a test of every circuit.

Cottages and later houses
What sits behind the meter in Albourne
Albourne tends to mix older cottages with houses built at various points through the twentieth century, and the fuse boxes follow the same pattern. Some homes still run on rewireable fuses, others on a plastic board with one RCD shared by every socket, and a few have a small extra unit bolted on for a later extension or garage.
In most of these houses the sensible place to start is dual RCD protection, priced from £425. If the kitchen, garage and garden all go off at once, it is worth paying from £625 for RCBOs, which protect each circuit separately so a single faulty appliance stops cutting power to half the rooms.

Getting the board ready for a car charger
With the A23 on the doorstep, many Albourne households depend on a car, and more of those cars now plug in. A typical 7kW home charger pulls around 32 amps for hours at a stretch, which is a heavy ask of an old fuse box, and of an incoming main fuse that may be rated at only 60 amps.
When we replace your board we can keep a spare way and suitable protection in reserve for a charger, and we note the main fuse rating and earthing arrangement on the certificate. Whoever fits the charger later then starts from a board that is already prepared, rather than needing a second change.
- Spare way kept for a charger
- Main fuse rating noted
- Earthing type recorded
- No second board change needed

Albourne questions
Asked in Albourne
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It is the essential first step. A modern board gives the charger circuit its own protection and a proper place to connect. Whether the supply can take the extra load depends on your main fuse and what else you run, which we look at during the job. If the incoming supply needs upgrading, that request goes to UK Power Networks.
Yes. Most board changes take four to six hours, so an early start often means the power is back by mid afternoon. Tell us when you leave and when you are home, and who can let the installer in, and we will plan the day around it. Our phones are answered seven days a week, from first thing until the evening.
Exactly the same as anywhere else in Sussex, because we never add a travel charge. Prices run from £425 for dual RCD protection and £625 for full RCBO protection up to £1,095 for an RCBO board with arc fault detection. Type 2 surge protection is included in each. Send a photo and we will confirm the fixed figure for your house.
