Rural hamlet east of Lewes
Fuse Box Replacement in Ashton Green
Ashton Green lies out in open country east of Lewes, a small hamlet within Ringmer parish. Electricity in rural spots like this often arrives by overhead line, so we look at the supply, the earthing and the board together. Every new consumer unit we fit here has Type 2 surge protection built in, and the price is fixed before we start.

A few homes, a lot to check
Small hamlet, individual houses
With only a small number of homes, no two properties in Ashton Green are likely to share the same electrical history. Some will have been rewired thoroughly, others extended a room at a time, with circuits added wherever there was a spare fuse. The board on the wall tells part of that story, and testing tells the rest.
We test every circuit on the day, before the old board comes out, so problems such as a missing earth or a borrowed neutral are found and explained before anything changes. Prices are set before any work begins, starting at £425 for a dual RCD board, or £625 for full RCBO protection if you would prefer a fault on one circuit not to take the others down with it.

Why surge protection matters on an overhead supply
Rural supplies carried on overhead lines are more exposed to lightning than cables buried under town streets. A surge can damage the electronics in boilers, routers, televisions and alarm panels without any visible sign until something stops working. For that reason, Type 2 surge protection is standard on each board we install, at no extra cost.
Overhead supplies also tend to use TT earthing, where your home relies on its own earth rod rather than the network cable. We test the rod, check its clamp and conductor, and make sure the RCD protection suits it. If you already have a modern board without surge protection, a retrofit costs £165.
- Type 2 surge protection included
- Earth rod tested
- RCDs matched to TT earthing
- Surge retrofit £165

Ashton Green questions
Asked in Ashton Green
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Flickering in high winds is more often on the overhead line than in your house, and that belongs to UK Power Networks, who you can reach on 105. If the flicker happens in calm weather too, or only on some circuits, it may be a loose connection inside the home, which we can find and put right when testing.
Not always. Many rods work perfectly well for decades. Testing tells us the rod's resistance to earth, and we also look over the clamp and its cable. If the reading is too high for reliable protection, or the rod is damaged or corroded, we fit a new one and record the result on your certificate.
Arguably more so than in a town. Homes fed by long overhead runs are more exposed to surges, and replacing a boiler control board or a smart television can easily cost more than the protection. It is included in the price of every board we fit, or £165 as a retrofit to a suitable existing board.
