Newick parish, despite the name
Fuse Box Replacement in Fletching Common
Despite its name, the hamlet of Fletching Common lies in Newick parish, west of Uckfield, and answers to Lewes District Council. Rural homes are often supplied by overhead lines and rely on their own earth rod, so we check that earthing carefully whenever we replace a fuse box here.

Rural houses and the boards they came with
Homes here are one-off properties, put up and altered at different times, in this small settlement among the fields. In houses like these the fuse box is often the oldest part of the installation, sometimes still with rewireable fuses, sometimes a consumer unit fitted before RCD protection became usual on every circuit.
A metal consumer unit with RCD protection throughout is the heart of the job, from £425 for a dual RCD board. If a garden office, stable or workshop takes its power from the house, we check how that supply leaves the board and whether its earthing suits an outbuilding.

TT earthing: your home's own connection to earth
In towns, most homes take their earth from the network operator's cable. Plenty of rural properties use a TT system instead, taking their earth from a metal rod sunk into the soil close to the house. That rod has to make good contact with the soil, and its resistance can change as it corrodes or as the ground dries out in summer.
On a TT supply, RCDs are what disconnect the power quickly in an earth fault, so full RCD cover matters even more. Testing covers the earth electrode's resistance and checks that the rod and clamp are sound and protected; if a new or extra rod is needed, we say so plainly.
- Earth electrode resistance measured
- Rod and clamp inspected
- Full RCD cover on TT supplies
- Clear advice if a rod is needed

Fletching Common questions
Asked in Fletching Common
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Usually outside, close to where the supply enters the house, often under a small inspection cover or in a flower bed. A green and yellow cable runs from it to the main earthing terminal near the meter. If you cannot find it, do not worry: tracking it down and testing it on the day is included in the work.
It depends how high. With RCD protection, a TT system can be safe with a fairly high reading, but very high or unstable readings need attention. We retest the rod during the board change, compare the result with what the regulations and the RCDs need, and tell you whether it is fine, needs a second rod alongside or needs replacing.
Sometimes. Where the house has a PME supply, an outbuilding is often better given its own earth rod, while on a TT system the house rod may serve both. We look at how the building is fed and earthed during testing and explain the safest arrangement for your setup, rather than leaving it as it was by default.
