Large village on the A272
Fuse Box Replacement in Newick
Newick sits on the A272 west of Uckfield and counts among the larger villages on the road between there and Haywards Heath. Beyond the older houses near the green, much of the village is later twentieth century housing, where original consumer units are now reaching the end of their useful life.

Twentieth century family homes
From the green to the newer roads
Newick's housing runs from older cottages and houses around the green to estates of family homes added through the later twentieth century. Homes built from the 1960s to the 1980s were usually wired with a fuse box or an early consumer unit and no RCD protection, and many have since gained a plastic unit with one RCD covering only some of the circuits.
Replacing it with a metal board brings every circuit under RCD protection and adds Type 2 surge protection as standard. Ten ways on a dual RCD layout, from £495, or twelve on a high integrity board, from £575, usually give a family home with a busy kitchen enough room, and the whole house is tested before we leave.
- Pre-RCD boards replaced
- Single RCD units upgraded
- 10 and 12 way options
- Whole house tested

Leaving room on the board for an EV charger
Plenty of houses in a village like Newick have off road parking, which makes a home charger a realistic next step for many owners. A 7 kW charger draws around 32 amps for hours at a time, so it needs its own circuit and protection, and the earthing arrangement has to be suitable. Planning for it when the board is changed saves disturbing a brand new unit later.
Tell us if an electric car is on the way and we will leave a spare way and record your main fuse size and earthing type, both of which the charger installer will ask about. If you also run an electric shower and cooker, we will say honestly whether the supply looks comfortable with everything on at once.
- Spare way kept for a charger
- Main fuse size recorded
- Earthing type noted
- Shower and cooker loads considered

Newick questions
Asked in Newick
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Sometimes. If your current unit is a modern metal board with a spare way and suitable protection, a charger can often connect to it. Older plastic units, or boards with no space left, usually cannot take one safely. One photo tells us which side of that line your board falls on, before you spend anything.
It is usually better to change the board first or as part of the project, so the new circuits for the loft go straight onto it. If the builder's electrician is wiring the conversion, we can agree spare ways with them in advance. Changing the board afterwards means disturbing brand new work and testing it all again.
Not normally. Testing of the whole installation happens on the day, your Electrical Installation Certificate comes through by email within two days, and Building Control is informed under Part P. We only return if testing turns up a fault that needs a separate repair, and we agree that with you first.
