Scattered rural homes
Detached houses and cottages among the fields
Shipton Green is made up of a modest number of houses and cottages rather than streets, and they were built at different times for different owners. That means no two fuse boxes here are quite alike. A board from the 1980s or earlier, often leaving the lighting circuits without any RCD protection, is a common reason for a call to us.
We start by testing what you have, then recommend the simplest board that does the job properly. For many homes that is a dual RCD unit from £425. Add outdoor circuits, a pump or a workshop to the picture, though, and an RCBO on every circuit, at £625 upwards, usually earns its extra cost.

Outdoor circuits on a low lying peninsula
The Manhood Peninsula is flat and low, with the harbour and the sea never far away, and the ground can stay wet for long spells in winter. Outside sockets, garden lighting, pond and drainage pumps and garage supplies all suffer from damp, and on a modern board a little moisture in just one of them is enough to trip the RCD.
With a shared RCD, that one damp fitting can take the fridge, the lights or the heating off with it. Giving each circuit its own RCBO confines the trip to the outdoor circuit alone. We also check outside fittings, glands and junction boxes while we are there, and tell you about any that are letting water in.
- RCBOs isolate outdoor faults
- Garden circuits inspected
- Pump and garage feeds tested
- Weatherproof fittings checked
Getting to you
Reaching Shipton Green from the east
Shipton Green is about 32 miles from Brighton on the map, and the journey costs you nothing extra. We come along the A27 to Chichester, then down the A286 and out onto the lanes. One photo by text is enough for us to settle on a fixed figure, and if the power fails, ring us: reaching you that same day is the goal.

Shipton Green questions
Asked in Shipton Green
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Almost always because water is reaching an outdoor circuit: a garden socket, a lamp post, a pump or a cable joint. The RCD is doing its job. We find the wet fitting by testing each circuit, repair or replace it, and with an RCBO board any future problem stays confined to that one circuit.
Buyers' surveyors often flag an old fuse box, and a recent Electrical Installation Certificate is a straightforward answer to that query. A new consumer unit with surge protection, fully tested and notified to Building Control, takes one item off the list and can help a sale go more smoothly.
Yes. Every board change includes testing and inspecting the whole installation, and if you want a formal condition report as well, an EICR costs £99 when booked with a board. It records the state of every circuit, which is useful for insurers, buyers or simply your own peace of mind.
