What Plumpton homes are wired with
Beneath the Downs, Plumpton's homes are spread out: older cottages, farmhouses and twentieth century houses, with Plumpton College and its farmland close by. Plumpton Green, to the north, has more housing from the last century. Between them you will find almost every kind of board, from old switch fuses on a wooden backboard to early plastic units with a single RCD.
The single RCD board is the common weak spot. One fault anywhere trips everything behind that RCD, often including the lights and the freezer. Moving to RCBOs throughout, priced from £625 for an 8 way board, puts every circuit behind its own device, so a fault in the kitchen stays in the kitchen.
- Switch fuses and old boards replaced
- Single RCD boards upgraded
- RCBO protection per circuit
- Plumpton and Plumpton Green covered

Where the Downs meet the Weald
Earth rods on the edge of the Downs
Plumpton lies where the chalk of the Downs meets the lower ground of the Weald. Homes with their own earth rod, which is common on rural supplies, depend on the soil around it to carry fault current away safely. Dry, stony ground and a summer drought can push a rod's resistance up, while damp clay usually gives a lower reading.
When we change your board we measure the rod and check its clamp and cable, then choose RCD protection that will still disconnect quickly if the reading shifts with the seasons. If a rod is weak, we add or replace it and record the new value on your certificate.

Plumpton questions
Asked in Plumpton
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. The whole parish is covered, along with the lanes around it, at the same fixed prices and with no travel charge. Let us know which end of the parish you live in when you send your photos, and we can plan the route and give you a realistic time to expect us.
With the supply isolated, we disconnect the earthing conductor at a safe point and measure the resistance between your rod and the ground around it using a dedicated tester. It only takes a few minutes. The reading tells us whether your RCDs can clear a fault quickly enough, and it is recorded on your certificate.
For many homes, yes. Priced from £425, a two RCD board divides your circuits into a pair of groups, so a single fault knocks out roughly half the house instead of all of it. If you work from home, keep a full freezer or simply want fewer nuisance trips, a full RCBO board is the better long term choice.
