What we expect to find
Rural cottages and houses on downland lanes
A hamlet like Madehurst has no estates or terraces, just a modest number of homes built one at a time: older cottages and farmhouses alongside a handful of later detached houses. Many have been extended over the years, so the wiring can be a patchwork of different decades. The original fuse box may be a wooden backed board with rewireable fuses, or an early plastic unit with no RCD protection at all.
Before fitting a new consumer unit we test every circuit, because a modern RCD will expose faults an old fuse box has hidden for years. Where that happens we tell you what we found and what it costs before going any further. Expect to pay from £425 for a dual RCD board, or from £625 if you choose full RCBO.
- Rewireable fuses replaced
- Every circuit tested first
- Hidden faults explained, not ignored
- Fixed price agreed upfront

Supplies in wooded country
Overhead lines, trees and TT earthing
Out in the woods and fields beyond Arundel, many rural homes are fed by overhead lines on wooden poles rather than underground cables. Some of these supplies come without an earth from the network, so the house relies on its own earth rod, an arrangement known as TT earthing. That is perfectly safe when it is done right, but it depends entirely on good RCD protection and a sound electrode.
On a TT supply, a board change involves a resistance test on the earth electrode, a check of the rod and its connection, and RCD protection chosen to suit it. Overhead lines are also more exposed to lightning, which is one reason Type 2 surge protection comes as standard on every board we install.
- Earth rod tested and recorded
- RCD protection suited to TT
- Surge protection included
- Meter tails renewed where needed

Call 0333 360 8691It changes the testing more than the board. On a TT supply the RCDs are what clear an earth fault, so we measure the rod's resistance, check its clamp and cable, and make sure every circuit has suitable RCD protection. If the electrode reading is poor we explain the options and the price before carrying on.
Yes, that is one of the most common boards we take out. Rewireable fuses offer no RCD protection and are easy to refit with the wrong wire. We swap the whole unit for a modern consumer unit with surge protection, test the installation and email the Electrical Installation Certificate within 48 hours.
Expect four to six hours for a typical board change, with the electricity off for most of it while we disconnect, fit and test. We tell you when it will go off so you can plan around fridges, freezers and anything that needs resetting. Older properties with faults to trace can take longer, and we say so beforehand.
