Pyecombe's houses and the boards inside them

With only a couple of hundred residents, Pyecombe has older cottages alongside houses built through the last century. Boards vary just as much. In homes of this kind it is common to find old units with rewireable fuses, boards where the RCD covers only the sockets, and consumer units with no spare ways left for anything new.

Where a cottage has just a handful of circuits, a smaller dual RCD board with 6 ways, from £425, often does the job. Bigger houses, or owners thinking ahead, may lean towards full RCBO protection over 10 to 12 ways at £695, giving every circuit its own device and space for whatever comes later.

  • Rewireable fuses removed
  • RCD protection on every circuit
  • Spare ways for future needs
  • Fixed price agreed from photos

Surge protection for a village in the hills

Pyecombe sits where the main road threads through the Downs, and supplies to downland villages often run partly overhead. Lightning nearby and switching on the network can send brief voltage spikes along those lines, which can damage boilers, routers, televisions and the electronics inside modern appliances. Fitted in the board, Type 2 surge protection sends much of that energy safely to earth.

We include a Type 2 surge device on every new board at no extra charge. If your current consumer unit is fairly recent and in good order, we can retrofit surge protection on its own for £165, provided there is space and the board is suitable.

  • Type 2 surge device on every board
  • Retrofit option at £165
  • Boiler and router electronics protected
  • Earthing checked so the device works

It limits brief voltage spikes, the kind caused by lightning striking near overhead lines or by switching on the electricity network. Those spikes can shorten the life of the electronics in boilers, televisions, chargers and kitchen appliances. It will not stop a direct strike on the house, but it gives the equipment in your home a much better chance.

For many smaller homes, a 6 way board with two RCDs, from £425, is all that is needed. If you want each circuit protected individually, so one fault does not switch off half the house, a full RCBO board starts at £625 for 8 ways. We recommend the option that suits your home from your photos and explain the difference plainly.

Yes. Tell us when you need the power on and we will plan the day around it, starting early if that helps. The supply is off for most of the job, usually four to six hours, so we suggest charging laptops and phones beforehand. Once the new board is in, everything is reconnected and tested before we leave.
