Above the River Brede valley
Fuse Box Replacement in Brede
Brede is a Rother village on the A28 between Hastings and Northiam, set on high ground above the River Brede, west of Winchelsea. Swapping a worn out fuse box for a modern consumer unit costs a fixed price, and although Brighton is a long way off, the drive adds nothing to the bill.

Weald cottages and later homes
Hillside houses of every age
Brede's houses range from older tile hung and weatherboarded cottages, typical of this corner of the Weald, to twentieth century homes built beside the main road and the lanes off it. That spread means fuse boxes of every vintage, from boards with rewireable fuses to plastic units from the 1990s with a single RCD covering most circuits and no surge protection at all.
Whatever we find, the price is fixed before we arrive. For a small cottage, six ways of dual RCD protection from £425 is often enough, whereas a bigger family home with an electric shower and outdoor sockets is better off with full RCBO protection across 10 to 12 ways, at £695.

Supplies that arrive on poles
Away from the towns, many homes in Rother parishes like Brede take their electricity from overhead lines run by UK Power Networks. Overhead supplies are often TT earthed, which means the house relies on its own earth rod rather than an earth provided by the network. A rod that has corroded or been disturbed can leave the protection on your board unable to work as it should.
Every board change we carry out on a TT supply includes an earth electrode test, and the reading goes on your certificate. If the rod needs attention, we explain the options and the cost before going any further. Overhead lines also pick up lightning and switching surges, so the Type 2 surge protection fitted with every board earns its place here.
- Earth electrode resistance tested
- Reading recorded on your certificate
- Type 2 surge protection included
- Network questions explained plainly
Getting to you
Reaching Brede from the coast
Our vans come from Brighton & Hove along the coast road to Hastings, then north on the A28 through Westfield and up into Brede. Once we have seen pictures of the fuse box and the meter, we text over a fixed price along with a choice of dates. Power gone completely? Phone us, and we aim to be there on the day you call.

Brede questions
Asked in Brede
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near your meter for a green and yellow cable heading down through the floor or out to a small inspection pit outside. If the network supply has no earth terminal of its own, you are almost certainly on a TT system with a rod. A quick picture lets us confirm it, and the rod gets a proper test on the day.
For six ways with dual RCD protection, the fitted price starts at £425, and that covers Type 2 surge protection, a test of the whole property and an Electrical Installation Certificate emailed to you within 48 hours. With more circuits to cover, a dual RCD board with 10 ways costs £495. We confirm which size you need from your photos.
Many owners think so, because we are already testing every circuit as part of the board change. Adding a full Electrical Installation Condition Report costs £99 when booked with a new board, compared with £175 to £350 as a standalone visit. It gives you a written record of the installation's condition, useful if you plan to sell or extend.
