Fuse Box Replacement in Pound Hill

Pound Hill is one of Crawley's larger new town neighbourhoods, north east of the town centre in RH10. Many of its houses have been extended, upwards into the loft or outwards over the garage. We replace the fuse boards behind them at fixed prices, with room for what comes next.

Pound Hill houses and the boards inside them

Pound Hill grew in stages, so a short walk takes you past houses from several different decades of the new town, with some older properties that were here before it. The fuse board you have depends partly on when your house was built and partly on what previous owners did, which is why two houses on the same road can need quite different work.

Boards in houses of this age range from rewireable fuse carriers to plastic split load units from the 1990s and early 2000s. Whichever you have, it can give way to a steel dual RCD unit at £425 upwards, or to full RCBO protection at £625 upwards if you would prefer one fault to cut a single circuit rather than half the house.

  • Plastic split load boards upgraded
  • Dual RCD from £425
  • Full RCBO from £625

When the house has outgrown its board

Every extension, loft conversion or converted garage brings new circuits: sockets, lighting, perhaps underfloor heating or a second shower. On an older board these are often squeezed in wherever there is a spare fuse, or fed from a small extra unit added beside the main one. Over time you can end up with two or three boxes on the wall and no clear picture of what protects what.

We bring those circuits together on one properly sized board, labelled clearly, and count the ways you will need for the next project too. Where ten ways on a £495 dual RCD board would be a squeeze, an RCBO board with 14 to 16 ways at £795 leaves an extended house plenty of spare capacity.

  • Ways counted for future work
  • Every circuit labelled

Usually, yes. If the loft circuits run back to the same spot, we connect them into the new main board and remove the extra unit, so everything is protected and labelled in one place. Where the loft was fed by a submain from elsewhere, we check its cable size and protection before deciding whether a separate board should stay.

Not necessarily. Tell us what the extension will include and we can fit a board with spare ways for it now, so your builder's electrician connects to protection that is already there. Waiting means living with the old board for longer, and it may then need changing anyway before the new circuits can be added.

For most of the job, because the supply has to be isolated while the old board comes out and the new one goes in. Allow 4 to 6 hours for most boards, testing included. If you work from home, plan for a day without wifi or chargers, and keep the freezer door shut until we switch back on.
