Downland village by the woods

Fuse Box Replacement in Clapham

On the downland edge north west of Worthing, the Arun village of Clapham has woodland close by and Rustington a little way to the south west. Old fuse boxes in the village give way to modern consumer units carrying Type 2 surge devices, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Houses in Clapham and what sits behind the meter

Cottages and detached houses make up most of Clapham, set among fields and trees even though Worthing's northern estates are only a few minutes away. In a lot of homes, kitchens, bathrooms and extensions get updated over the years while the fuse box stays put, so the board ends up as the oldest part of the electrics.

Replacing it brings RCD protection to every circuit, which is the part that matters most for safety: it cuts the power in a fraction of a second if current leaks to earth through a fault or a person. Dual RCD boards start at £425, and full RCBO boards at £625.

Why surge protection earns its place here

With woodland and open downland around the village, local supplies can be more exposed than those in the middle of a town, and lightning nearby or switching on the network can send a brief voltage spike into the house. Boilers, routers, smart TVs and other electronics are vulnerable to that. That is why each consumer unit we install in the village has Type 2 surge protection built into it.

The surge device sits in the board and diverts the spike safely to earth before it reaches your appliances. It cannot stop a direct lightning strike, and it does not replace sensible insurance, but it does protect against the everyday surges that slowly damage electronic equipment. If your board is already modern, a surge retrofit costs £165 where there is room for it.

Getting to you

Getting out to Clapham

Our vans reach Clapham with a straight run west along the A27 from Brighton & Hove, leaving it just past the Worthing turnings. Someone picks up the phone every day of the week, weekends included. When a storm or a fault has knocked out the power and the board is the culprit, ring us; our aim is then to have an installer with you that same day.

Clapham questions

Call 0333 360 8691

The wiring regulations now expect surge protection in most homes, and a village supply surrounded by trees and open ground is no less exposed than a town one. Because it is included on every board we fit, there is nothing extra to decide or pay for when you change the fuse box in Clapham.

Usually because water is getting into something outdoors: a garden socket, an outside light, a pond pump or a cable to a shed. On an old dual RCD board one damp fitting can switch off half the house. We track down the fault, and an RCBO board limits any future trip to the affected circuit alone.

We try to. Ring us as early in the day as you can and tell us what has happened, whether that is a burning smell, a scorched fuse holder or a board that will not reset. We will aim to get an installer to you that day and, where possible, fit the new board on the same visit.
