Out in Wadhurst's countryside
Fuse Box Replacement in Cousley Wood
Cousley Wood, a hamlet out in the far reaches of Wadhurst parish, lies some way east of Crowborough. Many rural homes like these are fed by overhead lines running past trees and across fields, which makes surge protection and sound earthing more than a box ticking exercise. Our fixed price boards cover both.

Scattered homes, older wiring
Older Weald homes and their fuse boxes
Homes around Cousley Wood reflect the wider High Weald countryside, with older brick and tile hung cottages, farmhouses and 20th century houses on larger plots. Many still have a fuse box from the 1970s or 1980s, or an early consumer unit with a single main switch and no RCDs, so one fault on a socket circuit can leave a shock risk with nothing to cut the power quickly.
A replacement board puts RCD protection on every circuit, which is the biggest single safety gain for most older homes. We check main bonding to the water pipe and any oil pipework too, because bonding is often missing in houses last rewired under older rules.

Storms, overhead lines and surge protection
In wooded countryside, overhead lines can be hit by falling branches and lightning, and the switching that follows a fault on the network can send brief voltage spikes into homes. Today's appliances, boiler controls, routers and alarm panels are packed with delicate electronics that handle those spikes badly, while an elderly fuse box does nothing whatsoever to shield them.
Each consumer unit we install has a Type 2 surge protector built in at no extra charge, wired to the board's earthing so that a spike is diverted safely. If your existing board is fairly new and in good order, we can add surge protection on its own for £165.
- Type 2 surge protector fitted as standard
- Retrofit option £165
- Boiler and router electronics protected
- Earthing checked for the device

Cousley Wood questions
Asked in Cousley Wood
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691No device can promise that. A Type 2 surge protector is designed to limit the spikes that travel along the supply after nearby strikes or network switching, which is the far more common problem. It reduces the risk to your electronics considerably, and it comes included with every board we fit.
Not always. If neighbours are off too, the fault is on the UK Power Networks side and you should call 105. If only your house is off, or your board trips when the power returns, the problem may be in your own installation. If you share a picture of your board, we can guide you through what to look at.
If it has no RCD protection, yes. A working fuse box can still allow a fault to become a shock or fire risk without cutting off the supply. We also test the whole property with every replacement, which can uncover damaged cables or missing earths that nobody knew were there.
