Few houses, each different
No two Poundford fuse boxes are alike
A hamlet never had an estate built in one go, so the homes around Poundford have usually been altered bit by bit over the years: a cottage extended, a bungalow given a loft room, a farmhouse partly rewired. Each change tends to leave its mark at the meter, often as an extra small unit or a fused spur feeding something added later.
We gather those loose ends into one new board, with every circuit labelled and given proper protection. Dual RCD protection is £425 and full RCBO £625, and whichever you pick, Type 2 surge protection is built in.

- Every circuit labelled

Specified for PoundfordWhen the earth is a rod
When the earth is a rod
Checking the earth rod, not just the board
Many rural homes in this part of the Weald are fed by overhead lines, and a good number of those supplies use TT earthing, where the house relies on a metal rod driven into its own ground rather than an earth provided by the network. If that rod has corroded, been disturbed or has never been tested, the safety devices on the board are relying on something nobody has checked.
Each board change includes a resistance test on the earth electrode and a check that the RCDs disconnect fast enough for a TT system. A poor reading from the rod is reported to you plainly, and every figure is recorded on the Electrical Installation Certificate, which we email within 48 hours.
- Earth rod resistance measured
- RCD trip times recorded
- Main bonding checked
- Readings on the certificate

Poundford questions
Asked in Poundford
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not harder, but it needs more care. On a TT supply the RCDs do the heavy lifting when a fault happens, so we check that each one trips fast enough and that the rod gives a usable reading. Where the rod is poor we explain the options, and we never leave a board relying on a doubtful earth without telling you.
Because we price the board, not the journey. Since travel is free anywhere in Sussex, Poundford pays the same fixed figures as a flat in Hove: £425 upwards for dual RCD, £625 for full RCBO and £1,095 for RCBO with arc fault detection. One look at the board in a photo confirms which applies.
Yes, Building Control does. Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations, and as a Part P registered firm we notify it for you. You get the Electrical Installation Certificate emailed to you inside 48 hours. Keep it somewhere safe, because a buyer's solicitor will ask for it if you ever sell.
