Fuse Box Replacement in Dodds Bank
Rural lanes roughly a kilometre south east of Nutley lead to Dodds Bank, a hamlet in Maresfield parish, north of Uckfield. Power often reaches homes here along overhead lines, which is why the Type 2 surge protector that comes with all our boards is well worth having.

Under the old fuse carriers
Hidden faults behind an old fuse box
Homes in a hamlet like Dodds Bank have usually been rewired in parts rather than all at once. An old fuse box can hide that history, because rewirable fuses do not respond to earth leakage and will keep running circuits a modern board would reject, such as a ring with a break in it or neutrals shared between circuits.
That is why we test every circuit as part of the change. If something fails, we make it safe, show you the results and price the repair, so you decide with the facts in front of you. Most board changes still finish within the usual 4 to 6 hours.

Why a rural board needs surge protection
Power reaching homes around Nutley often travels some distance across open country, and overhead lines are exposed to lightning and to switching on the network. Both can send a brief voltage spike into the house. Boiler controls, routers, televisions and smart meters are full of electronics that a spike can damage without anyone noticing at the time.
Each new board has Type 2 surge protection fitted, sending transient overvoltages to earth before your circuits ever see them. It cannot promise protection from a direct strike, but it greatly reduces the risk to everyday equipment. If your board is fairly new and only lacks surge protection, a retrofit costs £165.

- Retrofit available for £165
- Shields boiler controls and routers
- Earth connection checked for the device

Dodds Bank questions
Asked in Dodds Bank
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691The current wiring regulations call for it in most homes, and it protects the electronics modern life depends on. A Type 2 device costs far less than a new boiler control panel or television. Building it into our fixed prices means you never have to weigh up whether to pay extra for it.
If your board is in good condition, has space and is compatible, yes. A surge protection retrofit costs £165. If the board is old, full or lacks RCD protection, replacing it usually makes more sense, because every new board we fit already includes surge protection in the price.
Usually not. Flicker in bad weather is more often caused on the network, for example by branches brushing overhead lines or by protective switching. A loose connection in an old board can cause flicker too, though, and it is worth ruling out because it can overheat. We check every connection during a board change.
