Houses with room around them
Detached homes in generous gardens
Friston is small and spread out. By the main road stand the old church and the village pond, and from there twentieth century detached houses and bungalows run down the slopes towards East Dean, most on generous plots. Homes like these have often been extended over the decades, with bigger kitchens, conservatories and loft rooms, and the original board rarely kept pace.
A typical sign is a board with every way used and extra circuits fed from a second small unit or a fused spur. All of that comes together in one properly sized consumer unit: £495 for 10 ways with dual RCD, or £695 for full RCBO protection on 10 to 12 ways.

Chargers, studios and hot tubs
Power for what sits outside the house
Bigger plots bring bigger demands from outside the house: a charger for an electric car on the drive, a heated garden office, perhaps a hot tub on the terrace. Each needs its own properly sized circuit from the house, with protection that suits it. When we fit a new board in Friston we look at what it feeds outside, not just inside.
Planning a charger or a heated studio soon? Tell us when you send photos. We can leave spare ways and choose a board layout that takes the extra load without a second unit appearing on the wall later. Type 2 surge protection is included as standard, which matters for chargers and home office equipment.

Friston questions
Asked in Friston
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691If the existing board is old or full, it makes sense to sort it first. We can choose a consumer unit with spare ways and suitable protection, and check the incoming supply and main fuse rating against the extra load. Tell us which charger you are considering when you send photos, and we will plan the board around it.
Not always. Both the cable feeding the garage and the garage board itself are tested during the changeover. If the garage unit is sound and properly protected, it can stay. If it is an old fuse unit with no RCD protection, we will say so and give a fixed price to replace it before doing any extra work.
Fitting a board normally takes 4 to 6 hours, with the supply switched off for a good part of it. We isolate only once we are ready, restore it as soon as the new board has been tested, and tell you when to expect it back. If you work from home, it is worth planning to be elsewhere for the day.
