Between Fletching and Maresfield
Fuse Box Replacement in Down Street
Halfway along the lanes between Fletching and Maresfield, the hamlet of Down Street lies north west of Uckfield. Where an electric shower, an electric oven or an induction hob does the heavy work, we size the new board and its circuits around those loads.

Individual homes, updated in stages
New kitchens and bathrooms, old fuse box
Rather than an estate, Down Street is a scatter of individual homes, and like most country houses they have tended to be improved one room at a time. A new kitchen arrives with an oven and hob, a bathroom gains a powerful electric shower, and each is connected to a fuse box that was never planned for loads of that size.
Before quoting we ask which appliances you run, then check the cables feeding them as well as the board itself. A cable that suited a smaller shower may be undersized for a newer, larger one. We find that out by testing rather than guesswork, and price any fix separately.

Showers, ovens and hobs
Heavy loads, right-sized protection
Homes without mains gas depend on electricity for hot showers and cooking, and even where gas is available, many households choose electric showers and induction hobs. A 9.5 kW shower draws around 40 amps while it runs. Put an oven, a hob and an immersion heater on top of that, and an ageing fuse box can find it hard to cope.
Every heavy load goes onto its own circuit in the new board, with a protective device matched to the cable and the appliance. With a full RCBO board, priced from £625, a fault on the shower circuit will not take the cooker off with it. We also check your main fuse, since several big appliances running at once soon add up.
- Showers on dedicated circuits
- Induction hobs properly rated
- Main fuse capacity reviewed
- Faults confined to one circuit
Getting to you
Coming out to Down Street
We usually come via Lewes and the A26 towards Uckfield, then west along the A272 from Maresfield, or across from Newick if traffic suits. A fixed quote can be given from your board photos, leaving the day for you to choose. Urgent faults get a call-out on the day itself if we can possibly fit it in.

Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not on its own, if the cause lies elsewhere. A shower that keeps blowing its fuse may have an undersized cable, a worn connection or a failing heating element. We test the circuit, check the cable size against the shower's rating and tell you what we find. The new board then gives the shower protection matched to a sound circuit.
Not necessarily, but the hob needs a suitable dedicated circuit, usually the existing cooker circuit if its cable is big enough. If your board has rewirable fuses or no RCD protection, it makes sense to replace it at the same time. Photograph the board and the hob's rating plate, send both, and we can advise.
No. Each of these appliances draws a heavy current and normally needs its own dedicated circuit from the board, with its own isolating switch nearby. Sharing would overload the cable when both run together. If testing shows two heavy loads joined on one circuit, we explain what is needed to separate them before doing anything.
