Scattered rural homes

Houses spread out rather than clustered

A hamlet like Sharnden is usually a handful of homes spread along lanes rather than a village street, and each property tends to have grown over the years: an extension here, a converted outbuilding there. The fuse box often tells the same story, with a newer unit added beside the original, or circuits for later additions squeezed into whatever ways were spare.

We replace the lot with one properly sized consumer unit. £425 is the starting point, buying a 6 way board with dual RCD protection, and homes with more circuits usually suit a full RCBO board with 10 to 12 ways, at £695. Either way, Type 2 surge protection is included and the whole installation is tested.

The cable that runs out to the barn

Rural homes often feed a barn, garage, stable or workshop from the main house, sometimes through a cable buried decades ago or one clipped along a fence. When we change the board we test that outgoing circuit like any other, checking its protection and earthing, because a fault in an outbuilding can be harder to spot and slower to notice than one indoors.

Where the outbuilding has its own small board, we make sure the two work together sensibly, so a fault outside does not plunge the house into darkness. If the feed needs more than a board change can put right, we tell you plainly before any further work is agreed.

  • Submains protected correctly
  • Faults kept to one building

Yes. If they are fed from the house now, they stay connected. We give the outgoing supply its own protective device, test the cable and its earthing, and label it clearly on the new board. If the existing cable is undersized or damaged, we explain what we found and what it would take to put right, so you can decide before anything else is done.

No. A Sharnden home pays exactly the fixed price a Brighton one would, because we never charge for travel within Sussex. What you pay follows the board size and protection you pick: £425 for dual RCD with 6 ways, say, or £625 for full RCBO with 8.

Often, yes. Moving the board at the same time as replacing it adds £250 to the price. We look at where the meter and incoming cable are, then suggest a position that is dry, easy to reach and practical for future work. Photos of both the current spot and the one you have in mind help us check it will work.
