Out on the Pevensey Levels
Fuse Box Replacement in Rickney
Flat grazing marsh surrounds Rickney, a hamlet on the Pevensey Levels in Westham parish, south east of Hailsham. Homes this exposed often take their power by overhead line across open country, so we pay close attention to surge protection and earthing when we replace a fuse box.

Isolated homes on the marsh
A few properties, far apart
Rickney is made up of a small number of homes and farm buildings spread across the Levels, with ditches and pasture between them. Properties like these tend to have been altered over many years, and the electrics often show it: a fuse box from one era, an extra unit for a later extension, and supplies run out to sheds and barns as needs changed.
We replace the main board with a modern metal consumer unit and look at every cable leaving it, including any that run to outbuildings. If a remote building needs its own small board, we include it in the fixed price we send you, so you know the full cost before we set off.

Surge protection for an exposed supply
On flat, open land the overhead lines feeding remote homes can run for long distances, and lightning nearby or switching on the network can send brief voltage spikes along them. Those surges can damage boilers, routers, televisions and anything else with a circuit board inside. Type 2 surge protection at the consumer unit limits how much of a spike reaches your appliances.
Each new board we install has Type 2 surge protection built in, at no extra cost. If your current board is fairly new and passes testing, we can retrofit surge protection on its own for £165. On rural supplies we also test the earth electrode, because surge protection relies on a sound earth to do its job.
- Type 2 surge protection included
- Surge retrofit available for £165
- Earth electrode resistance tested
- Overhead supply arrangement checked

Rickney questions
Asked in Rickney
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691No device can promise that. A direct strike on a building calls for a separate lightning protection system. What Type 2 surge protection does is limit the voltage spikes that travel along the supply after nearby strikes or network switching, which is the far more common cause of damaged electronics. It comes free with every board we fit.
Sometimes the supply itself needs attention, for example a damaged service head or a main fuse too small for the house. That work belongs to UK Power Networks, not to us. We spot it on your photos or during our visit, explain what to ask for, and arrange the board change around their visit.
Phone us first. We will talk you through safe checks, such as which switch has tripped and whether something plugged in could be the cause. A board that has actually failed is urgent, so we aim to be with you that day, even somewhere as tucked away as Rickney.
