No two houses alike
What a hamlet's houses tend to need
With only a small number of properties along the road and the lanes nearby, Parkminster has no single type of house. Expect older cottages, farm properties and individual detached homes, each wired in its own way and at its own time. The fuse box we find could be a modern board, a 1990s split load unit or something much older.
That is why we ask for photos first. From one clear shot showing both board and meter, we can usually commit to a figure: £425 upwards for a dual RCD board, or £625 upwards for an RCBO board throughout if you want each circuit to trip on its own.
- Photos give a firm price
- Dual RCD from £425
- Full RCBO from £625
- Older and newer homes alike

TT earthing and the earth rod in your garden
Properties away from village centres are often supplied by overhead lines, and many such homes have no earth provided by the network. Instead, these homes get their earth from a rod sunk into the soil, an arrangement called a TT system. If the rod has corroded, been disturbed or was never very effective, the protection on every circuit suffers.
Each time we change a board here, the rod's resistance to earth is measured and the main earthing conductor checked. On a TT supply, RCD protection is what disconnects a fault quickly, so a board with good RCDs or RCBOs matters even more. If the rod needs replacing, we tell you before we start.
- Earth rod resistance measured
- Main earth conductor checked
- RCD cover suited to TT
- Rod problems raised first
Getting to you
Finding you near Parkminster
To get here from Brighton & Hove we usually head north through Henfield on the A281. Hamlet addresses can be hard to find, so a what3words location or a note about your gate helps. Travel within Sussex is never added to the bill, and a fault reported by phone can often be seen to the same day, diary permitting.

Parkminster questions
Asked in Parkminster
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near the meter for a green and yellow cable. If it runs from the main earthing terminal out through the wall or down towards the ground, rather than clamping onto the incoming supply cable, you probably have a TT system with a rod outside. Send us a photo of the meter area and we can usually tell you.
No, it simply shapes the design. On a TT system the earth rod cannot carry enough fault current to operate a fuse or breaker quickly, so RCD protection does that job. We pick the devices to match, test the rod, and record the readings on your certificate, which we email over within 48 hours.
Someone needs to let us in, show us the board and the meter, and be around at the end when we explain the new board. Expect most changes to last between four and six hours. For most of that time the house has no electricity, so charge phones beforehand and plan meals around the gap.
