Scattered homes in Fittleworth parish
Living in Egdean: what is behind the cupboard door
Egdean is small and spread out, a scattering of houses and cottages rather than a street. Homes like these were often wired in stages, and the boards we expect to meet range from old fuse boxes with cartridge or rewireable fuses to early RCD units that switch off half the house at once whenever anything trips.
A new consumer unit gives each circuit modern protection. Alongside the board we check the main bonding to the water pipes and any gas or oil pipework, then label each way clearly so that, by torchlight in a power cut, the right switch is easy to find.
- Cartridge fuse boards replaced
- Main bonding checked
- Clear circuit labels
- RCBO option for single trips
Specified for EgdeanEarth rods and TT supplies
Earth rods and TT supplies
When your home makes its own earth
On a TT supply, the safety of every circuit leans on a copper earth rod somewhere outside, usually close to where the cable comes in. Overhead rural supplies around Petworth are commonly arranged this way. The rod's resistance to earth changes with soil, moisture and age, and a poor reading means a fault may not clear as quickly as it should.
Every board change includes a reading of the earth electrode's resistance, which goes on your certificate. On a TT system, RCD protection on every circuit is essential, and all our boards provide it. If the rod reading is poor, we tell you and quote to fit a new one before it is relied on.
- Earth rod resistance measured
- RCD on every circuit
- Result on your certificate
- New rod quoted if needed

Egdean questions
Asked in Egdean
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near the meter for a green and yellow cable heading out through the wall or floor, rather than clamped to the incoming supply cable. Outside, there may be a small inspection pit or the top of a rod near the house. A photo of the meter area usually tells us, and if there is any doubt we confirm it on the day.
Because the path through an earth rod has a much higher resistance than a cable back to the substation, a fault to earth may not draw enough current to blow a fuse or trip a breaker quickly. An RCD senses the small leakage and disconnects in a fraction of a second. That is why every board we fit protects each circuit this way.
You do not need to measure anything, but it helps to know where it is. Make sure the rod and its connection are not buried under a new path, caught by a mower or disconnected during building work. If the clamp looks corroded or the cable has come away, call us. The resistance itself needs a proper test instrument.
