Scattered rural homes
A few houses, each with its own wiring story
A hamlet like Bucks Head is a handful of homes rather than a street, and each one tends to have been wired, rewired and extended in its own way. Older cottages and later houses can sit close together, so we expect anything from an original fuse box to a board fitted only a few years ago.
Your photos tell us most of what we need. For a smaller home, dual RCD protection costing from £425 is a good fit; spend from £625 on full RCBO and a fault on one circuit stays on that circuit. Either way, the whole property is tested before we leave.

- One fault, one circuit off

Overhead lines and trees
Rural supplies and TT earthing
Homes in wooded country away from town are often fed by overhead lines, and many have TT earthing, where 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 a home poorly protected without anyone noticing, until something goes wrong.
With every board change we test the earth electrode and make sure the RCD protection suits a TT supply. Trees and storms also send surges along overhead lines, one reason we include Type 2 surge protection on every board. If the rod needs attention, we explain why before doing anything.
- Earth rod tested
- RCDs suited to a TT supply
- Surge protection included
- No surprises on the bill
Getting to you
Out on the lanes east of Horsham
We come up from Brighton on the main roads and finish on the country lanes east of Horsham, so we allow for narrow roads rather than a town street. No travel charge applies. The quote is fixed from the board photos you text us. Phone us about a board that trips and will not reset; the same day is when we aim to come.

Bucks Head questions
Asked in Bucks Head
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near the meter. If the main earth cable runs out to a rod in the ground, or there is no earth clamp on the incoming supply cable, it is probably TT. A photo of the supply head, meter and board is usually enough for us to tell, and we confirm it with tests on the day.
Not always. If neighbours have lost power too, it is a network fault, so call 105 to report it to UK Power Networks. If only your home is off, or the board trips again as soon as you reset it, the problem is more likely inside the house, and that is where we can help.
Overhead lines are more exposed to lightning and switching surges than buried cables, and a surge can damage boiler controls, routers and appliances. A Type 2 surge protector limits that. It comes with every board we fit, or costs £165 to add to a suitable modern board you already have.
