Fuse Box Replacement in Dragons Green
Out on the lanes of Shipley parish, south east of Billingshurst, Dragons Green is a handful of rural homes. Before any new board goes in we test the wiring it will protect, because an old fuse box can hide faults that a modern RCD will find in seconds. You hear what we find before we fit anything.

Rural homes, older circuits
What sits behind the meter in a Shipley parish hamlet
Dragons Green is small and rural, made up of houses and cottages on the lanes rather than any planned estate. Homes like these have often been rewired in parts rather than all at once, as owners added a kitchen, a bathroom or a room in the roof. The result can be several generations of cable feeding one tired board.
Some boards still in use in rural homes are older than the people living there. Wooden backs, cast iron switches and fuse carriers with the wrong wire in them: all of it should go. We remove the old equipment, fit a metal consumer unit with modern protection and leave every circuit clearly named.

Specified for Dragons GreenWhat the tests can show
What the tests can show
Testing first, so there are no surprises
An old fuse box only cuts the power when a fault is big enough to melt the wire. A modern RCD reacts to tiny leaks of current to earth, the kind caused by damp in an outside light, a nail through a cable or worn insulation. That is why a board change sometimes uncovers problems that were there for years without anyone noticing.
We carry out insulation resistance tests on each circuit before connecting it to the new board. If one fails, we tell you what it means and what it would take to fix, and you decide. A fault found this way is far better dealt with now than discovered by a breaker tripping at midnight.

Dragons Green questions
Asked in Dragons Green
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Because they measure different things. Fuses only respond to a large overcurrent, while an RCD detects small currents leaking to earth. A leak from a damp outdoor socket or an old immersion heater element might never blow a fuse but will trip an RCD. We test for this before handing over, so issues are found and dealt with while we are still there.
Possibly, but one poor reading rarely condemns a whole house. More often a single circuit has a specific fault, such as a damaged cable or a failing accessory, that can be put right on its own. If the readings across the house point to wiring at the end of its life, we will say so, show you the figures and let you take your time deciding.
No, though it helps to mention any circuit that has always been odd, such as lights that flicker or a socket that never worked. On the day we identify every circuit ourselves by testing, then label the new board in plain words. A full schedule of circuits comes with the certificate.
