Withyham parish, beside Crowborough
Fuse Box Replacement in Friar's Gate
Crowborough gives way to the woods and heath of Ashdown Forest just north west of the town, and that is where you come to Friar's Gate, a hamlet in Withyham parish. A modern consumer unit in place of the old fuse box, a price fixed in advance, and a test of the whole property: every job here includes all three.

A hamlet on the town's doorstep
Near the town, but not part of it
Friar's Gate is close enough to Crowborough to share its TN6 postcode, yet it reads as a rural hamlet rather than a suburb, with homes set among trees and gardens. That puts it between two worlds electrically: some properties may take an underground supply like the town, others an overhead line through the trees, and the board has to suit whichever it is.
We check how your earth is provided before settling the board layout, because a rod in the garden and a network earth call for different choices. A dual RCD unit from £425 suits many houses, while full RCBO protection from £625 stops one fault from darkening half the house.

Storm damage, outages and voltage spikes
Where overhead lines run through woodland, branches brought down in a storm are a familiar cause of power cuts. The faults and switching that follow can send brief voltage spikes into a house, as can lightning some distance away. Modern boilers, routers and televisions are far more sensitive to those spikes than the appliances of thirty years ago.
For that reason, we build Type 2 surge protection into each board we fit, at no extra cost. If you only want surge protection added to a newer consumer unit, we can retrofit it for £165 where the board has room and is in good order.
- Type 2 surge protector fitted as standard
- Retrofit available for £165
- Boilers and routers better protected
- No extra charge on a new board

Friar's Gate questions
Asked in Friar's Gate
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691No device can promise that. Type 2 surge protection is designed to limit the voltage spikes that travel along the supply from switching, faults and lightning nearby, which are far more common than direct strikes. It reduces the risk to boilers, televisions and routers, and it is included with every board we fit.
Usually not. If the whole lane loses power, the fault is on the network and should be reported to UK Power Networks by calling 105. If only your house goes off, or one RCD keeps tripping in wet weather, that points to something inside the property, and we can track it down.
Yes. We charge the same prices throughout Sussex and nothing for travel, which means a Friar's Gate home pays exactly what a house in central Crowborough would. The figure in your quote is fixed, and if testing reveals a hidden fault, no repair is carried out without your agreement.
