Fuse Box Replacement in Filching

Scattered houses, varied ages

A loose group of homes on the Jevington road

Filching is not a village with a centre, more a loose group of houses set along the Jevington road and its edges. Homes of different ages and sizes sit side by side, and each has had its electrics updated on its own timetable. Some boards we would expect to find here are decades old; others are newer plastic units with limited protection.

Whatever you have now, the job is the same: test the wiring, fit a board that suits the house, and certify it. An 8 way full RCBO board is £625 and suits most smaller homes; larger houses with more circuits usually need the 10 to 12 way version at £695.

Why the surge protector matters here

Rural properties fed by overhead lines are more exposed to voltage spikes from lightning strikes nearby and from switching on the network after a fault. Modern homes are full of electronics that do not like those spikes: boiler controls, routers, smart TVs, alarm panels. A Type 2 surge protective device in the consumer unit diverts most of a spike's energy to earth before it reaches them.

Surge protection is included in every board we fit, at no extra cost. If your current consumer unit is fairly new and in good order, we can add surge protection to it on its own for £165, provided there is space and the board is compatible. A photo is usually enough for us to check.

Fuse box trouble in Filching?

It may well have. A Type 2 device limits surges arriving on the mains supply, which is a common way for storm damage to reach electronics. It cannot stop everything, such as a surge coming in through a phone or aerial cable, but it deals with the most common route. It comes as standard with every board we fit.

Most board replacements take between 4 and 6 hours, with the power off for much of that time. We tell you in advance, so you can plan around freezers, medical equipment or working from home, and we restore power to the essentials as early as the job allows.

Often, yes. Rewireable fuses, a wooden backboard, no RCD or a cracked plastic casing all show up clearly in a photo. Send us one with the cover closed and another with it open, and we will say whether a replacement is worth doing and what it would cost.
