Village street off the A22
Fuse Box Replacement in East Hoathly
In the 1700s East Hoathly was home to Thomas Turner, the village shopkeeper whose diary is still read today. These days the village lies just off the A22, south east of Uckfield, with homes of every age, and we change their fuse boxes for a fixed price, testing each circuit as the work goes on.

Old cottages and post war houses side by side
East Hoathly has an older village centre with later twentieth century housing around it, and that mix shows up in the fuse boxes. Older properties may have been rewired at some point but still carry an early board, while post war houses can have original cabling feeding a unit that was swapped decades ago without any RCD protection.
Whatever the age of the house, we treat the board change as a chance to find out how the wiring is really doing. Every circuit is insulation tested before the new unit goes live, and the results are written into your certificate so you have a clear record.

- Insulation resistance tested

Why new boards sometimes trip
Faults an old fuse box has been hiding
Old rewireable fuses only react to overloads and short circuits. They take no notice of small leaks of current to earth, or of a neutral wire touching earth somewhere along a circuit. An RCD does notice, so when a modern consumer unit goes into an older home, it can trip straight away on faults that have been there quietly for years.
We look for those faults with testing before the new board goes live, so there are no surprises after we leave. If a circuit has a problem, we show you where it is and give a fixed price to put it right. A damp outside light, a crushed cable or a faulty appliance are frequent culprits.
- Neutral to earth faults traced
- Earth leakage found before switch on
- Fixed price for any repair
- No unexplained trips after we go

East Hoathly questions
Asked in East Hoathly
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It can, because an RCD detects faults an old fuse box ignores, such as a neutral touching earth or a slow leak through damp. We test every circuit before the new unit goes live, so any fault is found and explained first. You then choose whether to have it fixed straight away; nothing is left tripping without an answer.
Rubber insulated cable, common before the 1960s, becomes brittle with age and can crumble when disturbed. If testing or a look at the cable ends shows it, we will tell you plainly that those circuits need rewiring rather than a new board on old cable. PVC cabling in good condition can usually stay.
Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Because we are Part P registered, we notify Building Control for you, so there is no application to make and no separate inspection fee. Your Electrical Installation Certificate arrives within 48 hours and the compliance certificate follows separately.
