Fernhill's homes and their supplies
Fernhill is nothing like the planned neighbourhoods that make up most of Crawley. It is a small, semi-rural spot of individual properties, closer in feel to the countryside around Horley than to the new town's estates. Houses like these vary widely in age and layout, so we treat each one on its own terms rather than assuming a standard board.
From photos of your board, meter and earthing we can usually tell what we are dealing with and quote a fixed price. If a charger is on the way, full RCBO protection is usually what we recommend, at £625 for 8 ways or £695 for 10 to 12, both including Type 2 surge protection.

Charging at home
Earthing comes first when a charger is planned
Many homes have PME earthing, where the network's neutral conductor also provides the earth. That works well indoors, but an EV charger extends the house earth to a car parked outside, and if the neutral were ever broken the car's body could become live. The wiring regulations therefore call for extra protection on chargers fed from PME supplies.
Most modern chargers build in open PEN detection to handle this, while some installations use a separate earth rod instead. When we fit your new Fernhill board, we record the earthing type, leave a suitable way for the charger and check the supply can carry the extra load, so your charger installer starts from solid ground.

Getting to you
Coming out to Fernhill
Seen from Brighton & Hove, Fernhill is among the furthest corners of Crawley, yet the M23 makes the trip easy and the distance still adds nothing to the price. Start by sending us photos of the fuse board and the area around the meter. Lost power? A call will bring us out that same day if at all possible.

Fernhill questions
Asked in Fernhill
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. The RH6 postcode belongs to Horley, but Fernhill is within Crawley borough in West Sussex, and we cover all of Sussex with no travel charge. The Part P notification goes to Crawley Borough Council, and we arrange it for you once the work is complete.
Send the consumer unit with its flap open, the meter, the sealed cut-out beside it and the green and yellow earth cable where it connects. Those photos show us your earthing type, the main fuse rating if it is visible and whether the board has space, which covers most of what we need to plan for a charger.
Usually, yes. A charger is a heavy, long running load outdoors, and on a board with shared RCDs a fault on it could also cut power to several circuits inside. With RCBOs every circuit has its own protection, so a problem with the charger stays with the charger. Full RCBO boards start at £625.
