What sits behind the cupboard door in Ancton
Homes around Ancton are mostly single storey or two storey houses from the last century, many of them extended at some point. That history often shows in the board: an original fuse box with rewireable fuses, or a later plastic unit with one RCD covering everything. Extensions, conservatories and new kitchens tend to have been added onto whatever spare ways were left, sometimes with no RCD protection at all.
A replacement starts with testing every circuit, so we know what each one feeds and whether it is safe to connect. Bungalow boards tend to live in a hall cupboard or beside the front door, and a 6 way board on dual RCDs, from £425, usually covers one. Larger extended homes may need 10 ways at £495.

Keeping a coastal board dry and sound
Middleton-on-Sea parish has its own stretch of shoreline, and air off the Channel carries salt some way inland. Over decades it dulls brass terminals, rusts the screws on main earth clamps and gets into meter cupboards on outside walls. A connection that has slowly corroded runs warmer than it should, which is one reason older boards near the coast start to trip or smell hot.
On an Ancton board change we remake every termination, renew the earthing conductor connection where it has deteriorated and check the bonding to gas and water pipes. The new consumer unit is metal clad, as current regulations require for homes, and we will advise if a drier position indoors makes sense.
- Corroded terminals remade
- Main earth clamp checked
- Gas and water bonding tested
- Metal clad enclosure as standard
Getting to you
Reaching Ancton from Brighton & Hove
Ancton lies west of our Brighton & Hove base. We come along the A27 and the coast road, the A259, reaching the hamlet before Felpham, which lies a little further west. A fixed price board change can be booked by phone on any day, and a scorched or constantly tripping fuse box should be mentioned at once, so we can aim to reach it that same day.

Ancton questions
Asked in Ancton
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691The rules changed in 2016: a consumer unit in a home now has to sit in a non-combustible enclosure, and steel is the practical way to achieve that. The aim is to stop an overheating connection from spreading fire into a hallway or cupboard. Your existing plastic board is not illegal, yet anything we install in its place will be metal clad.
No. Since travel is free throughout Sussex, Ancton prices match Brighton's exactly: £425 upwards for dual RCD protection on 6 ways, or £625 upwards for full RCBO protection. We confirm the exact figure once we have seen a picture of the existing board.
Plan on a working day. Fitting typically takes 4 to 6 hours, with the supply switched off while the old board comes out and the new one goes in. Around that, we test the circuits and inspect the whole property, so everything comes back on fully checked. A freezer left shut will stay frozen well beyond the length of the job.
