Cottages to cul-de-sacs
Different ages, different supplies
Sompting mixes older flint and brick cottages near the church and the old village street with large areas of semis, bungalows and newer cul-de-sacs. The fuse box we find depends heavily on the street. Older properties can still have rewirable fuses and cloth-covered meter tails, while homes from the 1970s and 80s often have an early split-load board with limited protection.
We look at the whole supply arrangement, not just the board, before we quote. If the meter tails are too small for a modern consumer unit, we replace them during the job, and anything on the network side that needs UK Power Networks is flagged to you straight away.
- Rewirable fuse boards replaced
- Undersized meter tails upgraded
- Split-load boards converted to RCBOs
- Network faults reported to UK Power Networks

The cut-out, the meter and the tails
Between the street cable and your consumer unit sit the service cut-out, owned by UK Power Networks, and the meter, owned by your energy supplier. In older cottages the cut-out can be decades old and tucked into a cramped cupboard. We check its condition and fuse rating before we start, because a new board is only as good as the supply feeding it.
If the cut-out is damaged, running hot or too small for the load you need, we report it to UK Power Networks and explain what happens next. Where a meter needs moving or replacing, we tell you what to ask your supplier, so the board change is not held up waiting.
- Cut-out condition checked
- Main fuse rating confirmed
- Meter position assessed
- Plain advice on network jobs

Asked in Sompting
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691That is the service cut-out, which belongs to UK Power Networks along with the cable into your home. The meter belongs to your energy supplier. Everything after the meter, including the tails and the consumer unit, is yours. We check all three and tell you who to contact if a part we are not allowed to touch needs attention.
Yes, and for most bungalows it is the board we recommend. An 8 way full RCBO unit costs £625 and suits a typical bungalow comfortably, with each circuit protected individually so one fault does not black out the whole house. Larger homes may need 10 to 12 ways, which is £695.
No. Type 2 surge protection is included with every new board we fit, at no extra cost. If you already have a modern board without it, we can retrofit a surge protection device for £165, provided there is space for it and the board is in good condition.
