Homes along the roads
Roadside houses rather than a village square
Rather than clustering round a green, the homes at Cripps Corner sit along the roads leading away from the junction, with farmland close behind. You are likely to find older cottages next to later houses and bungalows, each wired in its own era. Some still have a fuse box with rewireable fuses; others have an early consumer unit with a single main switch and no RCDs at all.
Whatever the age, we test the existing wiring first so you know its condition before anything is swapped. Dual RCD boards begin at £425 for 6 ways, yet for a household planning an electric car we generally recommend full RCBO protection, so a single fault cannot take out half the house.
- Older fuse boxes and early units
- Wiring tested before the change
- Dual RCD from £425
- Full RCBO from £625

Getting the board ready for a home charger
With the nearest mainline stations at Battle and Robertsbridge, most households here depend on a car, and plenty are now weighing up an electric one. A home charger needs its own protected circuit, and the board feeding it must cope with a sustained load of around 32 amps for hours at a time. An old fuse box, or one with every way already used, rarely can.
We fit boards with a spare way set aside and labelled for the charger, and we check the main fuse and meter tails while we are there. That gives whoever installs the charger a ready connection. If the incoming supply is small or shared with a neighbour, we explain how UK Power Networks can upgrade it.
- Spare way kept for a charger
- Main fuse and tails checked
- Looped supplies identified
- Surge protection included

Cripps Corner questions
Asked in Cripps Corner
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691A spare way with suitable protection, an incoming supply with enough capacity, and an earthing arrangement that is safe for car charging. We check all three when we change the board, then give you a certificate showing the new installation. Your charger installer can then connect to a ready, labelled way rather than adding a second unit beside the meter.
A looped supply means two properties share one service cable from the network, which can limit how much either home can draw. It does not stop us replacing your fuse box, but it can matter for an EV charger or heat pump. Separating a looped supply is usually something UK Power Networks can do, and if we spot one we will let you know.
It covers the board itself, Type 2 surge protection, installation by our Part P registered staff, a full test and inspection of the property, notification to Building Control, and your Electrical Installation Certificate sent by email inside 48 hours. The only possible extra is repairing a fault that testing uncovers, and whether to fix it is entirely your decision.
