Fuse Box Replacement in Jacob's Post

Town edge housing
Close to town, so what is behind the meter?
This close to the middle of Burgess Hill, Jacob's Post shares the town's housing rather than that of a remote hamlet. Burgess Hill grew mainly after the railway arrived in Victorian times, so we expect anything from older terraced and detached houses to twentieth century semis and recent homes, each with a board from its own era.
The board itself tells the story better than the brickwork. Rewireable fuses, a single RCD across every circuit, or a unit with no spare way for a new circuit are all good reasons to upgrade. Plenty of homes are well served by dual RCD protection at £425 upwards, while going full RCBO, at £625 upwards, keeps one fault from spreading.

Signs a board needs help
When the fuse box looks, smells or sounds wrong
Some faults announce themselves. A board that feels warm, buzzes or crackles, shows brown scorch marks, or gives off a smell of hot plastic has a connection breaking down, and it will not improve on its own. Fuses that blow again straight after being replaced, or breakers that refuse to reset, also need looking at promptly.
Spot any of these and, if it is safe to do so, switch off at the main switch, keep clear of the board and give us a call. Being so near the town centre, Jacob's Post is a realistic same day job. Never swap in thicker fuse wire or hold a breaker on.
- Heat, buzzing or scorch marks
- Breakers that will not reset
- Fuses that keep blowing
- Smoke or flames: ring 999 first

Jacob's Post questions
Asked in Jacob's Post
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. In a flat the consumer unit is usually inside the flat while the meter may be in a shared cupboard downstairs, so we confirm where both are before the day. Leaseholders may need the freeholder or managing agent to agree access to communal areas. The board, the testing and the certificate are exactly the same as for a house.
Yes, and sometimes the honest answer is no. From photos we can often see whether a board is merely old but sound, or genuinely unsafe. If it is unclear, a standalone EICR from £175 tests the whole installation and gives you a written report, so the decision rests on evidence rather than a sales pitch.
Always. Every board is fitted by our own directly employed installers, never subcontractors. They are Part P registered, work to the 18th Edition of BS 7671 and are covered by £5m public liability insurance. The workmanship carries a six year guarantee, and the company has been doing this work from Brighton & Hove since 2009.
