Fuse box services for Swailes Green

Our standard installationFull RCBO board with surge protection
A handful of rural homes

Few houses, each with its own wiring story

A hamlet like Swailes Green is made up of a small number of houses rather than a planned street, so no two installations match. An older cottage may have been rewired once, decades ago, with circuits added piecemeal since. Another may have gained a kitchen extension or garden room hung off a board that was never sized for it. Rewireable fuses and missing RCD protection are common finds.

Our quote starts with three photos, showing the meter, the incoming supply cable and the board itself. That shows us how old the equipment is, whether any RCD protection exists, and which board size suits the house. Most homes here are well served by a full RCBO board, which starts at £625 for 8 ways.

  • Extension circuits brought into one board

Why surge protection earns its place on a rural line

Out in the countryside north east of Battle, many homes are fed by overhead lines running across fields and along hedgerows. Long exposed runs like these can pick up voltage spikes from nearby lightning and from switching on the wider network. Modern electronics, from boiler controls to broadband routers and televisions, are far more sensitive to those spikes than the appliances of thirty years ago.

Each board we fit has Type 2 surge protection built in, at no extra cost. If your existing consumer unit is fairly recent but has no surge device, we can retrofit one for £165. Where the earth comes from a rod in the ground rather than the network, we measure that rod during the job.

  • Type 2 surge device on every board
  • Surge retrofit for £165
  • Earth rod measured where fitted
  • Supply faults passed to UK Power Networks

Type 2 surge protection cuts down the spikes reaching your wiring, giving your electronics and appliances some protection. It cannot guard against a direct lightning strike on the house, and it does not replace sensible precautions such as unplugging sensitive equipment in a severe storm. On a long overhead supply it is a worthwhile safeguard, and it comes with every board we fit.

Most board changes take four to six hours, so expect to be without power for much of a working day. We tell you roughly when the supply will go off and when it should be back. Keep the fridge and freezer doors closed and they will usually hold their temperature, and we test every circuit before handing the house back.

Someone needs to let us in, show us the board and meter, and be around at the end so we can walk through the new board and its labels. In between, you can carry on with your day. We do need clear access to the board and to sockets and switches around the house, because every circuit is tested.
