Rural houses close to town
Country houses within easy reach of town
Boarshead is small and rural, but it sits so close to Crowborough that its homes have more in common with the town's outskirts than with remote farmsteads. We would expect a mix of older houses and later ones, many updated in places, with fuse boxes ranging from original rewireable units to consumer units that lack the RCD protection now required.
Whichever type you have, a clear picture showing board and meter lets us price the swap without fuss. Most jobs take four to six hours, the house is tested circuit by circuit, and Building Control is notified under Part P on your behalf.
- Rewireable fuses retired
- Missing RCDs put right
- Building Control notified
- Four to six hours on most jobs
Specified for BoarsheadSolar panels and home batteries
Solar panels and home batteries
Room on the board for solar and storage
Detached homes with open roofs and gardens are good candidates for solar panels, and many owners also consider a battery, now or later. Both have to connect into the consumer unit, which is why a dated fuse box without spare ways, or a board with every way already taken, so often holds the installer up on the day.
If solar or storage is on your list, tell us when you send photos. We leave suitable spare ways, label them for the installer and make sure the new board is compatible with the extra supply. Your surge protection is already in place, which suits inverters and battery systems well.
- Spare ways left for an inverter
- Board ready for battery storage
- Surge protection already fitted
- Installer gets a clear schedule

Boarshead questions
Asked in Boarshead
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. A solar inverter normally connects to its own dedicated way, and we can leave one ready, correctly rated and labelled. The panel installer then makes the final connection and notifies UK Power Networks about the system. If you already have solar, we reconnect it to the new board and test it.
Not necessarily bigger, but it should have a spare way and room for any extra isolation the battery installer requires. Choosing a 10 way board rather than a 6 way often covers it, and the difference in price is modest: a dual RCD board is £425 for 6 ways and £495 for 10.
The paperwork is an Electrical Installation Certificate setting out each circuit with its test results, sent within 48 hours by email, together with confirmation that Building Control has been notified of the work under Part P. Keep both with your house documents, because solar and battery installers and future buyers will ask for them.
