Few houses, wide spaces
What a forest hamlet's fuse boxes tend to look like
With only a handful of homes scattered across the forest, Duddleswell has no single type of house. Older cottages sit alongside detached houses from various decades, each altered over the years by different owners. That usually shows at the fuse box: an original board, a later add on for a kitchen or extension, and perhaps a separate switch fuse for an outbuilding.
Pulling all of that into one metal consumer unit makes the installation easier to understand and safer to live with. Prices for dual RCD boards run from £425 at 6 ways to £495 at 10 ways, and the change includes testing every circuit in the house, not only those we work on.

Why surge protection matters out on the forest
Open heathland leaves overhead lines exposed to storms, and lightning nearby or switching on the network can send a brief voltage spike down the supply. Modern homes are full of electronics that dislike those spikes: boiler controls, broadband routers, televisions, chargers and the circuit boards inside white goods. The damage is often invisible until something simply stops working.
On each new board we fit a Type 2 surge device, and it channels most of that energy safely away to earth. If your consumer unit is fairly new and only lacks surge protection, we can retrofit a device for £165 rather than replace the whole board. It is not a lightning conductor, but it lowers the risk to your electronics considerably.

- Retrofit to a newer board £165
- Guards boiler controls and routers
- Earthing checked so it works

Duddleswell questions

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 deals with spikes that travel along the supply cables, such as those caused by a strike some distance away or by switching on the network. A direct strike to the house is a different matter. For the everyday spikes that slowly wear out electronics, it is an inexpensive and worthwhile layer of protection.
It matters a great deal, because a surge device sends excess energy to earth, and a poor earth makes it less effective. Where a house has its own rod, the earth electrode's resistance is measured while we change the board. If the reading is too high, we explain the options, which may include a new or additional rod, before going further.
Often, yes. A board with rewirable fuses, no RCD protection or a plastic casing can carry on working for years while giving very little protection when something goes wrong. We look at your photos first and tell you honestly whether a full replacement is needed or whether a smaller job, such as adding surge protection, would do.
