Fuse Box Replacement in Coates
Out in quiet rural country south east of Petworth, the small hamlet of Coates falls within Fittleworth parish. Swapping an old fuse box for a modern consumer unit is done for a set price, and each new board carries a Type 2 surge protector, well worth having on a country supply.

Hamlet homes and their ageing boards
Coates is a scattering of houses and cottages rather than a village with a centre, and homes in a setting like this tend to have been altered and extended over many years. That usually leaves a fuse box carrying more than it was meant to, sometimes with an extra unit bolted on beside it for a shower, cooker or outbuilding.
Combining those into one modern consumer unit makes the installation safer and much easier to understand. We quote from your photos, starting at £425 for six ways with dual RCD protection, or £625 if you would rather have RCBOs on every circuit.

Spikes on the line from storms and switching
Where overhead lines run through woodland, storms bring falling branches, brief interruptions and the occasional lightning strike nearby, and each disturbance can send a short voltage spike down the line. Modern homes are full of electronics that dislike those spikes, from boiler controls and routers to televisions and alarm panels.
That is why all of our boards come with a Type 2 surge device, which sends transient overvoltages harmlessly to earth before your appliances feel them. If you have had a board changed recently without one, we can retrofit surge protection on its own for £165, provided there is space and the board suits it.
- Surge device fitted as standard
- Retrofit available for £165
- Earth path tested so it can work
- Protects boilers, routers and alarms
Getting to you
Making the trip to Coates
We come up the A283 through Storrington and Pulborough towards Fittleworth, then into the lanes around the parish. You pay nothing extra for the distance. Once a storm has tripped your board and it will not reset, a call to us should bring someone out that same day if we can manage it.

Coates questions
Asked in Coates
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Nothing can fully guarantee that. A Type 2 surge protector deals with the far more common spikes that travel along the supply from nearby strikes and network switching. A direct strike on the house is a different scale of event, which is why surge protection is one layer of protection rather than a guarantee.
Brief flickers that affect the whole house, and often the neighbours, are usually on the network, as branches touch overhead lines and protection resets automatically. Report repeated ones to UK Power Networks on 105. If only your RCD trips and stays off, that points to a fault inside the property, which we can find.
Sometimes. If your existing consumer unit is reasonably modern, in good condition and has a spare way or room alongside, we can retrofit a Type 2 device for £165. If the board is old or full, replacing it makes more sense, and surge protection then comes included at no extra cost.
