What we tend to find behind the cupboard door

Sutton is made up of cottages, farmhouses and a scattering of later houses spread along quiet lanes rather than packed into streets. Boards in homes like these vary a great deal. Some still use rewireable fuses, some are 1990s units where a single RCD protects half the circuits, and some have been added to so often that nobody is quite sure what each way feeds.

One clear picture showing the board and meter is enough for us to price the right replacement. Prices begin at £425 with dual RCD protection, rising to £625 for RCBOs on every circuit so each one trips on its own. Every circuit is then labelled in plain words, so the next fault is easy to trace.

  • Unknown circuits traced and named

Rural supplies and earthing

Your earth rod, tested and recorded

Out in the lanes, many homes take their supply from overhead lines, and some of those rely for their earth on a rod sunk into the ground near the house, rather than on one provided by UK Power Networks. That arrangement, known as TT earthing, works well when the rod is sound, but rods corrode, get disturbed by digging and are sometimes hard to find.

With every board change we locate the rod, measure its resistance and record the result on your certificate. On a TT supply the RCD protection on the new board does a job the earth path alone cannot, so getting that board right matters even more than in town. If the rod reading is poor, we tell you and quote before any further work.

  • Result written on your certificate
  • RCD protection matched to a TT supply
  • Overhead supply checked at the meter
Getting to you

From the coast to Sutton

Our usual route is the A283 through Steyning and Storrington to Pulborough, then the A29 south before turning west into the lanes past Bignor. The drive costs you nothing, here or anywhere else in Sussex. When the electricity is off and will not reset, give us a ring and we will do everything possible to reach you that day.

Look near your meter and fuse box. If a green and yellow earth cable leaves the board and heads outside or down into the floor, rather than clamping onto the incoming supply cable, you may well have an earth rod. A photo of the meter area usually tells us, and we confirm it by testing on the day.

On older rural installations that is often an earth leakage device fitted to protect a TT supply. Some early versions, known as voltage operated breakers, are no longer considered reliable. A new consumer unit takes over that job with modern RCD or RCBO protection, and the old device is removed once everything has been tested.

For most cottages the answer is a dual RCD board, £425 with 6 ways or £495 with 10, or, if you would rather each circuit tripped on its own, a full RCBO board starting at £625. That price covers Type 2 surge protection, testing and the certificate, and nothing is added for the trip out to Sutton.
