Hambrook's homes
Village homes north of the coast road
Hambrook mixes older houses and cottages with mid century homes and more recent building, some set along lanes and some grouped more closely together. There is no single typical board here. One house might still have a rewireable fuse box, the next a crowded 1990s unit, and the approach is the same for both: test the existing installation, replace the board, then test everything again.
Type 2 surge protection, RCD protection on all circuits and an Electrical Installation Certificate come with each board we install; the certificate arrives by email inside 48 hours, and we let Building Control know about the work. If anything in the existing wiring needs attention, you hear about it before we leave, with a clear explanation.
- Cottages to family homes
- RCD protection throughout
- Certificate within 48 hours

TT earthing on rural lanes
On the edges of villages like Hambrook, some homes are fed by overhead lines and receive no earth from the network at all. Their earth comes instead from a rod sunk into the soil, an arrangement known as a TT system. That rod is a critical part of your safety, and its resistance can change as it ages and as the ground around it dries out or becomes waterlogged.
On a TT supply, a board change also involves measuring the earth electrode, checking the bonding and making sure the RCD arrangement is right for the system. If the rod is not up to the job, we tell you and quote for a new one before going any further.
- Earth rods measured
- Bonding checked
- RCDs matched to TT systems
- Surge protection included
Getting to you
Hambrook call outs and bookings
Coming from Brighton & Hove, we stay on the A27 for most of the journey, then it is a short drive down into Hambrook. Planned board changes are booked once you have a photo quote; if the power keeps tripping and will not reset, phone us instead. We try to attend board failures the same day, and there is never a travel charge.

Hambrook questions
Asked in Hambrook
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near your meter for the main earth cable. If it leaves through the wall or floor to a rod in the ground, often under a small inspection cover, you are probably on TT. If it connects to the network operator's cut out, you are not. A photo of that area lets us confirm which system you have before we quote.
It comes with every board we fit, so there is nothing to decide. Surges can arrive from lightning strikes on or near overhead lines, as well as from switching on the network, and they can damage electronics. A Type 2 device in the board limits that risk. If you are keeping your existing board, a surge retrofit costs £165.
The cut out and its main fuse belong to UK Power Networks, and the meter belongs to your supplier, so we cannot alter them. If we find a problem there, such as a scorched cut out, we make your side safe, explain what we found and help you arrange a visit from UK Power Networks. The board change can then go ahead.
