Fuse Box Replacement in Up Marden
Narrow lanes lead up to Up Marden, a small hamlet in Compton parish north west of Chichester. With only a scattering of homes, properties in places like this often rely on their own drainage and water arrangements. We replace fuse boxes with that in mind, at fixed prices.

A few homes on the hill
Few neighbours, long lanes, individual homes
Up Marden is about as rural as Sussex gets: a church, a few scattered houses and cottages, and farmland all around. Homes in hamlets like this have usually been updated one owner at a time, so there is no typical installation. One may have a recent board and sound wiring, while another still has a fuse box from decades ago.
Because each house is different, we start with photos and a conversation about how you live there. Then we quote a fixed price, from £425 for a dual RCD board, and test every circuit once it is fitted, so the certificate reflects the whole property.

Keeping treatment plants and pumps running
Homes a long way from the nearest sewer often have a septic tank, cesspit or package treatment plant, and some have pumps for water or drainage too. A treatment plant needs a constant supply to its air blower or pump. If it shares protection with something faulty and trips unnoticed, it can sit idle for days before anyone realises.
Moving to RCBOs throughout, at £625 and up, puts the treatment plant or pump on a protected circuit of its own, where a fault somewhere else in the house cannot switch it off. We label it clearly, check the cable out to the unit, and make sure the protection suits the equipment.
- Treatment plant on its own circuit
- Pumps kept separate
- Outdoor cables checked
- Full RCBO from £625
Getting to you
The lanes up to Up Marden
The final stretch to Up Marden is on narrow country lanes. That shows up in the arrival time we give you, never in the price, since the journey itself costs you nothing. Text us some photos and we can fix the quote and book a date. And if the house has no power at all, ring us, and the aim will be to get there before the day is out.

Up Marden questions
Asked in Up Marden
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Ideally, yes. A treatment plant runs all the time, and if it shares protection with other circuits, an unrelated fault can stop it without you noticing. Putting it on its own RCBO keeps it running when something else trips, and makes it easier to isolate safely when it is serviced.
Clear access to the fuse box and meter, and let us know about anything that must not lose power for long, such as a treatment plant, a freezer or medical equipment. We plan the order of work around those, and reconnect them as early as testing allows.
It may affect the arrival time we give you, but not the price. The day is planned so nothing is rushed, and the work matches what we do anywhere else: a new board, a test of every circuit, plus an Electrical Installation Certificate in your email no later than 48 hours afterwards.
