Fuse Box Replacement in Arundel

Replacing a consumer unit in the same position, using existing cables, is generally treated as maintenance and does not normally need listed building consent. New visible cable runs or changes to historic fabric might. If anything beyond a straight swap is needed, we explain exactly what will change so you can check with Arun District Council's conservation officer first.

Not in itself, as long as the space is dry and accessible. Cellars in older Arundel houses can be damp, so we check the condition of the board, tails and cables there. If damp is an issue, or the board is hard to reach in an emergency, moving it upstairs adds £250 to the board price.

It might. Some rural properties around BN18 have TT earthing, meaning the house relies on its own earth rod rather than an earth from UK Power Networks. We test the rod as part of the job, and a TT installation needs RCD protection on every circuit, which our boards provide as standard.

Usually a full RCBO board. Each circuit has its own protection, so if a guest's appliance trips a socket circuit, the lights and heating stay on. An 8 way RCBO board is £625 and a 10 to 12 way is £695, which suits most cottages in the town.

Some Arundel streets are narrow and parking is limited, especially at busy visitor times. We just need to know beforehand, so we can plan where to park and bring what we need in one trip. It does not change the price.
