Village homes
Old flint cottages and later village houses
Piddinghoe is small, a few lanes between the church and the river. Older homes are built of flint and brick in the local manner, alongside houses and bungalows added during the twentieth century. In cottages of this kind the fuse box can be tucked under a stair, in a lean-to or by the back door, wherever the supply first came in.
Older village homes can hide surprises: earlier wiring left in place after a partial rewire, circuits extended out to sheds, or a board added to piecemeal. Our test after the board change covers every circuit, and the certificate records what we found, which helps if you sell or insure the property later.

Thinking about flood risk before the board goes up
Piddinghoe sits right beside the Ouse, which is tidal here, and the lowest ground by the river forms part of its floodplain. Many homes are never troubled, but if yours is in a flood risk area, or has had water close by before, it makes sense to consider where the consumer unit sits before a new one is fitted.
Where a board is low on a ground floor wall, we can fit the replacement higher, or relocate it for an extra £250, so it stands a better chance of staying dry if water gets in. You can check your address on the government's flood risk service before booking, and we are glad to talk it through.
- Board fitted higher where sensible
- Relocation add £250
- Check flood risk first
- Downstairs circuits separately protected

Piddinghoe questions
Asked in Piddinghoe
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Upstairs is one option, though a higher spot on the ground floor often works just as well and keeps cable runs shorter. We look at where the meter is, how close water has come and how the circuits are arranged, then suggest the most practical position. Moving the board as part of a replacement adds £250 to the price.
In some rural homes the earth comes not from the supply cable but from a metal rod pushed into the soil, which is known as TT earthing. You may spot a green and yellow cable leaving the board towards an outside wall or the floor. A picture of the area around the meter lets us check, and any rod we find is tested while we are there.
In most cases, yes. Text us one clear picture showing your fuse box, a second showing the meter, and your Piddinghoe postcode. From those we can usually identify the board, its circuits and the supply, and give you a fixed price. If anything is unclear, we ask a few questions or arrange a short visit.
