Cottages and farm properties
Older rural homes at the foot of the hill
Housing in Rackham is thinly spread: a handful of cottages and farm properties along the lanes rather than any street of matching homes. That means no two boards look alike. Typical finds include original fuse boxes with rewireable fuses, extra boards added piecemeal each time a building was extended, and later work wired to a different standard from the older circuits around it.
Before confirming anything we look at the whole installation, not just the board. For most cottages the choice lies between a dual RCD unit from £425 and an all RCBO board from £625; whichever goes in, Type 2 surge protection is part of it, along with a clear, labelled schedule of circuits.
- Rewireable fuses replaced
- Mixed age wiring tested
- Surge protection included
- Typed circuit schedule

When the supply runs beyond the house
On farms and smallholdings the house board often sends a cable out to a stable block, barn, store or workshop. Those runs can be old, buried at an unknown depth or clipped along a fence, and outdoor buildings face damp, rodents and heavy tools. A new consumer unit is the moment to check that every outgoing circuit is properly protected.
Each submain and outbuilding circuit is tested during the board change, and if the load justifies it we suggest a separate protected board inside the building, priced in your written quote. If earthing at the far end needs attention, we explain the options before any work starts.
- Submains tested end to end
- Outdoor sockets RCD protected
- Outbuilding earthing checked
- Heavy tool circuits sized
Getting to you
Reaching Rackham from Brighton & Hove
We normally come west along the A27, up the A283 through Steyning and Washington, then on past Storrington before the final run along the lanes. Travel is free. Quotes need nothing more than one picture of the board by text. For a house left with no power at all, getting there the same day is what we try for.

Rackham questions
Asked in Rackham
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. We test the cable out to the stable, check how it is protected at the house end and confirm the earthing arrangement at the building itself. If the run is sound, it gets its own protected way on the new board. If it needs work, we tell you and price it before we start.
Usually not. We test buried and overhead outbuilding cables from each end, which tells us a great deal about their condition without any excavation. Digging only becomes necessary if a cable has failed or has to be replaced, and in that case we explain the options and the price before anything is disturbed.
Most board changes take four to six hours, and the supply has to be off while the old board comes out and the new one goes in. We agree the timing with you in advance, so you can plan around freezers, pumps or anything else that needs power. By the end of the day everything is tested and live again.
