Fuse Box Replacement in Skippers Hill
Skippers Hill lies among the lanes of Mayfield and Five Ashes parish, north west of Heathfield, and in a hamlet like this a home's supply often powers more than the house itself. When we replace the fuse box we look at every cable leaving it, including any feeding a garage or outbuilding.

Houses with land around them
Rural homes with plenty plugged in
In a hamlet like Skippers Hill the houses tend to be detached, set in their own grounds and fed by a rural supply. Over the decades many have gained an extension, a conservatory or a utility room, each wired in by whoever was working on the house at the time. The result is often a board that ran out of space long ago, with additions squeezed in wherever they would fit.
A new board gives each of those additions a proper place. Most detached rural houses are well served by an RCBO board of 10 to 12 ways at £695: it holds today's circuits with space to spare for later, and its price covers Type 2 surge protection too.

Power that runs out to the outbuildings
Many rural properties send power down the garden or across a yard to a garage, workshop, stable or studio. Sometimes that cable was laid properly, armoured and buried; sometimes it began as an extension lead and quietly became permanent. When we change the main board we test these submain circuits too, because a fault in a damp outbuilding is a frequent reason for nuisance tripping.
Where an outbuilding has its own small board, we check that it is protected correctly and, where needed, that its earthing suits a detached building. Anything unsafe is explained in plain terms and written up, so you know exactly what is out there.

Skippers Hill questions
Asked in Skippers Hill
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691A new board will not dry out a damp workshop, but it changes what happens when the fault occurs. With a full RCBO board, only the outbuilding circuit switches off, not the lights and fridge in the house. While we are there we test the cable out to the workshop and tell you where the fault appears to be.
Often it is sensible. A separate building with several circuits, such as lights, sockets and a water heater, is easier to manage with its own small board fed from the house. Whether it also needs its own earth depends on the supply and the arrangement, which we check during testing. We tell you what we find, and what it would involve, before doing anything.
Testing the circuits that leave the main board, including any submain to a garage or stable, is part of the whole property testing we carry out with every board change, so there is no extra charge for it. If you would like a full condition report covering the outbuildings as well, an EICR alongside a new board costs £99.
