What sits in the meter cupboard at Pyecombe Street

A hamlet this size has no single type of house. Expect older cottages alongside later homes, each altered by different owners over the decades. That usually shows in the fuse box: an early board with rewireable fuses, or a plastic unit with one RCD covering only some circuits, often with an extra switch fuse added for a garage or shed.

We price from your photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The starting price is £425 for 6 ways with dual RCDs, and £625 for a full RCBO board, which protects each circuit separately. Both include surge protection, labelling and a full test of the house.

  • Rewireable fuses taken out
  • Added switch fuses brought into the new board
  • Each circuit labelled
  • Full test of the house

Checking the earth on a rural supply

Homes away from towns are often fed by overhead lines, and many use TT earthing, where the house depends on its own earth rod rather than an earth supplied by the network. With TT, the RCDs in your board do the work of cutting off a fault quickly, so an old board without them is a real concern.

Before the new board goes in we measure the earth rod's resistance and check the earthing conductor and its clamp. If the rod is corroded, loose or reading poorly, we tell you and quote to put it right. The result is recorded on your certificate.

  • Earth rod resistance measured
  • Earthing clamp and conductor inspected
  • RCD protection on every circuit
  • Readings shown on your certificate
Getting to you

Reaching Pyecombe Street from the city

Our base in Brighton & Hove is a short drive down the A23 from Pyecombe Street, which lies to the south west of Burgess Hill. Pictures of the board, with the meter in shot, are enough for a fixed quote. A board that keeps tripping, or no power at all, can often be seen to on the same day you call.

Look near the meter for a green and yellow cable. If it runs to a clamp on the incoming supply cable, the network provides your earth. If it leads outside or down into the ground, often to a rod under a small cover, you are probably on TT earthing. A photo of the area around the meter lets us tell you for certain.

It can, but with a single RCD any fault anywhere switches everything off, which is inconvenient and makes the cause harder to trace. Our usual recommendation is to go to full RCBO, priced from £625 with 8 ways, so every circuit has a device of its own and a fault in one spot leaves everything else working.

Usually, yes. Even a small home needs RCD protection on its circuits, and on a TT supply that protection is essential for safety. £425 buys a board with 6 ways and two RCDs, enough for many smaller properties, and the price covers surge protection, a complete test of the installation and your certificate within 48 hours.
