A village tucked into the Downs

Fuse Box Replacement in Stoughton

Stoughton gives its name to a parish that also takes in Walderton, Forestside and several hamlets. The village itself lies in a quiet valley of the South Downs north west of Chichester. Our usual fixed prices apply in Stoughton too, the trip costs nothing extra, and every circuit gets tested.

Stoughton homes

Cottages, farmhouses and a few newer houses

Though small, Stoughton counts as a village rather than a hamlet: there is a church, a cluster of older cottages and farm buildings, and a scattering of twentieth century houses among them. Several generations of electrical work can sit side by side in one lane, and sometimes in one house. That is why we never quote from the age of the building alone and always ask to see the board first.

One sharp picture of the meter and another of the board give us nearly everything we need to know. With those in hand we can judge whether the job needs only a dual RCD board, priced from £425, or whether the way you use the house points to full RCBO protection, priced from £625.

Storage heaters, Economy 7 and split supplies

In rural homes without mains gas, homes are heated by oil, LPG or electricity, and storage heaters on a night rate tariff are still a common choice. Those homes may have two meters, a time switch, or a separate board that only comes alive overnight. Older off-peak setups were often added in stages, and the wiring between the boxes can be hard to follow.

When we replace the main board, we trace the off-peak circuits, confirm what each switch and meter controls, and make sure storage heaters, the immersion heater and any day circuits are all protected and clearly labelled. Nothing is disconnected until we understand how it is fed.

Getting to you

Our journey to Stoughton

Stoughton is a long run from Brighton. Our installers head west along the A27, then out of Chichester and up the lanes into the village, with no travel charge added. Most boards are fitted in 4 to 6 hours, so we aim to arrive early in the day. Booking starts with a few photos by text, and in an emergency a phone call during the day gets you a same day visit whenever we can manage one.

Not always. Some homes have a separate off-peak board fed from a second meter, while others run night rate circuits from the main board through a time switch or contactor. We work with whichever arrangement you have, and where it makes sense we tidy it into something clearer that is easier to understand, use and test.

No. Your tariff is agreed between you and your energy supplier, and the meter belongs to them, so replacing the consumer unit does not change it. We simply make sure the circuits meant to run on the cheaper overnight rate are still connected to the right side of the meter and switch, then test them.

No house is too old. What matters is the condition of the wiring, which we test before the new board goes in. If an older circuit fails its insulation test, we tell you and price the repair before connecting it, so you never end up with a brand new board tripping on its first day.
