Fuse Box Replacement in Boxgrove

Boxgrove is best known for its medieval priory and for the Boxgrove Man finds, but for us it is a village where plenty of homes are old enough to need careful electrical work. Fuse box replacements here are fixed in price, and we keep disruption to period fabric as low as we can manage.

Boxgrove homes, from period cottages to newer houses

In Boxgrove's older cottages the meter and fuse box were added long after the building went up, so they tend to occupy whatever corner was free at the time: a narrow hallway, a pantry or a spot high on a wall. Thick walls and old timbers leave little room to reroute cables, and a modern metal board will not always fit the old space.

Newer homes in the village are simpler, often needing only a straight swap. In either kind of home, dual RCD boards begin at £425 and RCBO boards with 10 to 12 ways cost £695, while moving the board from an unworkable old position adds £250.

Working sensitively in Boxgrove's historic buildings

With a priory church at its heart and older buildings around it, Boxgrove has a strong historic character, and some homes here are listed. Electrical work in a listed building needs a lighter touch: surface runs placed with care, fixings into soft brick or old timber kept to a minimum, and no chasing into historic plaster without good reason.

A like for like board change in the same spot rarely affects historic fabric, but moving it or running new cables might. If your home is listed, check with the local planning authority's conservation team before we start; we are happy to describe exactly what we propose so you can ask them.

  • Listed homes handled carefully
  • Minimal fixings into old fabric
  • Existing positions reused
  • Plans explained before work
Getting to you

Arranging work in Boxgrove

Boxgrove lies just north of the A27, east of Chichester, which makes the trip from Brighton & Hove a straightforward one for our installers. Text over a few pictures of the board; if the home is listed, mention it so the visit can be planned around that. When power is lost entirely, ring us; we aim to arrive the same day.

Often not for a straight replacement in the same position, but it depends on your building and what is proposed, so ask the local planning authority before work starts. Moving the board or adding new cable routes is more likely to need approval. We will write down exactly what we plan to help you ask.

Usually, yes. A cupboard, cloakroom or utility area often works better than a hallway wall, as long as it is dry, accessible and close enough to the meter. Relocating while fitting the new board costs an extra £250. In a listed home, agree the new position with the conservation officer first.

A full RCBO board is a good match, because older wiring is more likely to have a circuit with a minor leak, and RCBOs stop one problem from cutting power to the whole house. Prices start at £625 for 8 ways. Arc fault detection, which starts at £1,095 with 10 ways, is worth considering in a building with a lot of old timber.
