Forest edge homes
Houses tucked in beside the forest
With only a few homes, Chuck Hatch has no typical house, but properties on a forest edge like this share some traits. They are usually detached, often reached down a lane or track, and frequently extended over the years. Their boards tend to carry the marks of that history: mixed brands of breaker, extra boxes and circuits nobody has labelled.
We start by identifying every circuit, then fit a consumer unit sized to the house as it is now, with room to spare. Prices are fixed: £425 upwards for dual RCD, £625 upwards for RCBOs on every way, with surge protection in both.

Specified for Chuck HatchEarthing on forest ground
Earthing on forest ground
Earth rods on light, sandy ground
Around the forest, houses fed by overhead lines frequently take their earth from a rod pushed into the soil instead of from the supply cable. How well a rod works depends on the soil around it, and the heathland of Ashdown Forest sits on light, sandy ground that can dry out in a warm summer, which may push readings up.
On a TT supply, RCDs do the job of disconnecting faults quickly, so they and the rod both matter. We measure the rod, check every RCD trips in time, and record the results. If the rod needs replacing or a second one adding, you get the price first.
- Rod resistance measured on site
- RCD trip times recorded
- Results noted on the certificate
- Rod work priced before starting

Chuck Hatch questions
Asked in Chuck Hatch
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It means your protection relies on RCDs rather than on a low resistance earth provided by the network. Every circuit on the new board is RCD or RCBO protected, and the layout is chosen to suit a TT supply, which can mean a time delayed main RCD. We confirm the arrangement once the rod has been tested.
Earth rod readings change with the weather. Dry ground conducts less well than damp ground, so the same rod can read higher in a dry summer than in winter. A single higher reading is not always a problem; what matters is that it stays within limits the RCDs can work with, which we check.
We switch circuits off one by one and test at sockets, lights and fixed appliances until every way is accounted for. It takes time on an extended house, but it means the new board carries a schedule you can rely on, and any mystery circuit is either explained or made safe.
