A small village by the scarp
Clayton's homes and what their boards tell us
Much older than its neighbour Hassocks, the small village of Clayton has an ancient church known for its medieval wall paintings. Its homes run from older cottages to twentieth century houses along the A273. Boards here can be just as varied, from fuses in an old wooden box to a 1990s unit with a single RCD covering half the circuits.
The age of the board is only part of the picture. We also ask how your home is heated, because that can change which board you need. Homes heated by electric storage heaters often have a second board or a timed supply feeding the heaters, and that has to be planned into the change.

Boards for homes on Economy 7
Where gas is not used for heating, many older homes rely on electric storage heaters charged overnight on a cheaper off-peak rate, often called Economy 7. These homes usually have a dual rate meter and sometimes a separate small board or switched supply for the heaters and immersion heater. Changing the main board means keeping that arrangement working correctly.
We identify which circuits run on the off-peak supply before we start, then reconnect them so the heaters still charge at night. If you plan to swap storage heaters for a heat pump later, tell us, and we will leave suitable spare ways. An RCBO board with 10 to 12 ways costs £695.
- Off-peak circuits mapped first
- Heater and immersion supplies reconnected
- Meter arrangement left untouched
- Spare ways for future heating
Getting to you
Over the hill on the A273
Clayton sits on the far side of the Downs from Brighton. From Brighton & Hove we take the A23 to Pyecombe and follow the A273 down into the village, south of Burgess Hill. Pricing is done from your board photos, sent by text, and the figure is fixed. When something has failed, phone us in office hours, as we can often come out the same day.

Clayton questions
Asked in Clayton
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. We trace the off-peak circuits before disconnecting anything and reconnect them to the correct supply, so the heaters continue to charge overnight, then test each heater circuit. If the timer, the meter or a heater itself is faulty, we tell you plainly. The meter belongs to your energy supplier, so any fault there is theirs to fix.
Sometimes. It depends on how your meter and off-peak supply are arranged. In some homes the two can be brought together into one well laid out board; in others they must stay separate. We look at your photos and explain which applies before quoting, so you never pay for something that will not work.
It is very old and offers no RCD protection, so an earth fault or an electric shock may not be cut off quickly. That does not mean something is about to go wrong, but replacement is strongly advised. A new board, from £425, brings RCD and surge protection, and the job includes a test of the whole property.
