Cottages and roomy family houses
Two kinds of Kingston home, two kinds of board
Kingston's older cottages tend to have small boards with a long story behind them, sometimes still on rewireable fuses. The larger twentieth century houses are more likely to have a consumer unit that was fitted or replaced at some point, often with one or two RCDs covering everything, so a single fault can switch off half the house.
We size the replacement to the home rather than to a template. In a cottage, dual RCD protection from £425 may be all that is required. Bigger houses with extensions, a garden office or underfloor heating usually suit a full RCBO board of 14 to 16 ways, costing £795 and leaving spare ways for later.
- Cottage boards from £425
- Larger homes on 14 to 16 way RCBO
- Spare ways left for the future

Specified for Kingston near LewesDriveways, roofs and new loads
Driveways, roofs and new loads
Ready for a car charger and panels on the roof
Homes with driveways and good roof space, as many in Kingston have, are natural candidates for an EV charger, solar panels or a home battery. Each of those needs its own protected way on the consumer unit, and a charger installer will want to check your earthing and the size of your main fuse. An older board with no spare ways often holds the whole project up.
If you are planning any of these, say so when you send photos and we will fit a board with the spare capacity and the room for any extra protection a charger needs. Type 2 surge protection is already included. Where a bigger supply might be required, we explain how to apply to UK Power Networks.

Kingston near Lewes questions
Asked in Kingston near Lewes
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691As a rule we suggest at least two or three spare ways once every existing circuit is on the board, which covers a charger, a solar inverter and perhaps a battery. For most family houses, a full RCBO board with 14 to 16 ways, at £795, provides that headroom. We look at your photos and suggest the size that fits your plans.
Not always. Many modern chargers can turn their output down while other appliances in the house are busy, and the charger installer will assess your load. If a larger supply is needed, the request goes to UK Power Networks, not to us, but we can check your current main fuse rating and help you understand what to ask for.
No. In most homes the new consumer unit goes where the old one was and connects to the existing meter. The meter and main fuse belong to your supplier and the network operator, so we leave them in place. If you would like the board somewhere more convenient, relocation adds £250 to the board change.
