When the old fuse box is still in service

Maudlin is a small group of homes rather than a village with estates of its own. In rural hamlets like this, older houses are the ones most likely to still have rewireable fuses or an early consumer unit, fitted before RCD protection was expected and often added to since with extra spurs and fused connections.

Replacing that board is one of the most effective safety upgrades a house can have. It usually takes a single working day to give you RCD protection, a fully tested installation, plus Type 2 surge protection; the certificate then lands in your inbox within 48 hours.

When the old board comes out

Swapping an old fuse box for an RCD protected board can reveal faults the old fuses were hiding. A circuit with poor insulation, a borrowed neutral shared between two circuits, or a lighting circuit with no earth conductor may have worked for years, but it will trip an RCD or fail a test. That is not the new board causing trouble. It is the board doing its job.

Because we test before and after, we can show you exactly which circuit is affected and what it will take to fix. Small faults are often put right on the day. Anything bigger is explained and priced so you can decide, and nothing is done without your agreement.

Getting to you

Reaching Maudlin and booking in

Maudlin is about 27 miles from Brighton & Hove, on the north east side of Chichester a short way beyond Westhampnett, so getting to you is straightforward. Three photos by text are enough for a fixed price: one of the board, one of the meter and one of the earth cable. After that, the date is yours to choose. Fuses that blow again and again and will not hold mean it is time to phone us, and our aim is a visit that same day.

Yes. Going straight from rewireable fuses to a modern board is a normal job for us. We test the existing wiring first, fit the new board with RCD and surge protection, then test again. If any circuit cannot safely go onto a modern board, we tell you before anything is switched over.

We explain what it is, which circuit it affects and whether it is dangerous. Minor issues such as a loose connection are usually fixed while we are there. If a circuit needs more work, we can leave it isolated and safe, give you a price, and come back to finish once you are happy to go ahead.

Not necessarily. Many older installations are in reasonable condition and only the board needs replacing, and testing tells us which situation you are in. If the wiring is rubber insulated or badly deteriorated, a rewire may be the better long term answer, and we will say so honestly rather than fit a new board onto cables that will not last.
