Village houses built across many decades
Barcombe Cross grew up gradually, so a walk through the village takes in older cottages, period houses and twentieth century homes built in between. That spread shows up in the fuse boxes we find: rewireable fuse carriers in one house, an early plastic consumer unit in the next, and elsewhere a board extended piecemeal as kitchens, showers and extensions were added.
Whatever the age of the house, the job follows the same pattern. We trace and label each circuit, test the existing wiring before anything is switched over, and fit a metal consumer unit sized for the way you live now. Dual RCD protection costs from £425, while for £625 upwards a full RCBO board isolates any single faulty circuit on its own.

Getting the board ready for an EV charger
In a village where the car is part of daily life, more households are moving to electric ones. A home charger needs its own protected circuit, and a charger installer will look hard at your consumer unit before fitting one. An old fuse box, a board with no spare ways or an unsuitable earthing arrangement can stall the job until the board is upgraded.
We fit boards with a spare protected way so a charger can be connected later without another board change. We also check the main fuse and meter tails against the extra load and tell you if UK Power Networks needs to be involved. Type 2 surge protection is included as standard on every board.
- Spare way left for a charger
- Main fuse and tails assessed
- Earthing checked before any upgrade
- Surge protection fitted as standard

Barcombe Cross questions
Asked in Barcombe Cross
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes, and it often saves money. We fit the board with a spare protected way and check that the supply can cope, so your charger installer only needs to run the new circuit. If you already have a charger quote, send it with your board photos and we will make sure the two pieces of work fit together.
Rewireable fuses are not illegal, but they give no RCD protection against electric shock, and a fuse repaired with the wrong wire may not protect the cable at all. A modern board brings RCD protection to every circuit. We test the wiring first, so you know its condition before the new board goes in.
Most boards are fitted in four to six hours, and we plan the work to keep the power off for as little of that time as possible. Fridges and freezers stay cold if you keep the doors shut. Before we leave, every circuit is tested and we show you how the new board works.
