Fuse Box Replacement in Ardingly

Home to the South of England Showground, Ardingly lies north of Haywards Heath, close to Ardingly Reservoir and Wakehurst. Across the village, old fuse boxes and tired consumer units are swapped at fixed prices; each new board carries Type 2 surge protection, while all the circuits in the house are tested.

Village centre and newer roads

Ardingly homes and what their boards tell us

Ardingly has older houses and cottages near its centre along with twentieth century homes on the roads around it, so we see the full range of boards. Some still have wooden backed fuse boxes, many have the white plastic split load units of the 1980s and 1990s, and some newer ones simply need surge protection or more ways.

Not every home needs the same board. £425 covers a six way dual RCD board, enough for a smaller cottage, whereas a bigger house might need 14 to 16 ways of RCBO protection at £795. We size it from your photos and the circuits you actually have.

A board that is ready for solar

Solar panels and home batteries are an increasingly common addition to village homes, and both connect to your consumer unit. Each needs its own dedicated way, proper isolation and clear warning labels, because the house can then be fed from more than one source. Older boards rarely have the space or the right protection.

If panels are in your plans, tell us when you send the photos. We leave suitable ways free, fit the surge protection that comes with every board, and arrange the layout so a second supply can be added, saving you a further board change when the solar installer arrives.

  • Ways reserved for panels or battery
  • Surge protection already in place
  • Layout suited to a second supply
  • No second board change later
Getting to you

Reaching Ardingly, show days included

We come up the A23, through Haywards Heath and Lindfield, then north on the B2028 into the village. On big showground days the roads can be slow, so we plan bookings around them. Travel is not charged for, show day or not. Photos by text bring a fixed price; a power failure is better reported by phone, with a same day visit made wherever possible.

Ardingly questions

Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.

Yes. We isolate the solar supply safely before work starts, give it its own way on the new board and test it when it is reconnected. If the existing solar cable or isolator has problems, we tell you what we found. The inverter itself is left alone and stays in the care of whoever installed it.

Arc fault detection devices, or AFDDs, pick up the small sparking faults caused by damaged or loose cables, which an ordinary breaker can miss. A 10 way board with RCBOs and AFDDs costs £1,095. They are most useful in older homes with mixed wiring or timber construction, and we can talk through whether they suit your house.

Begin by photographing the consumer unit and the meter and sending us the pictures. Should the board need replacing, testing the whole house is included in that work. If you would rather understand the wiring first, an EICR costs £99 when booked with a board change, or £175 to £350 on its own, and tells you exactly what condition everything is in.
