A handful of downland homes
Farm and cottage properties in open country
With only a small number of homes in the parish, Upwaltham is mostly farmland and downland, and its houses are what you would expect in that setting: cottages and farm properties, often built in the flint and brick typical of the Downs. Thick solid walls make new cable runs harder, so where the existing board sits matters more than usual.
We aim to reuse existing cable routes wherever we can. A dual RCD board costs from £425, full RCBO protection from £625, and relocating the board alongside a new one adds £250. Every price is agreed before we arrive.

Moving a fuse box out of a porch or damp corner
In older rural cottages the fuse box was often fixed wherever the supply happened to come in, which can mean a cold porch, a damp outhouse wall, high above a doorway or behind a heavy piece of furniture. None of those spots is ideal for equipment you may need to reach quickly, in the dark, when something trips.
If your Upwaltham board sits somewhere awkward, we can fit the new one in a drier, more accessible place. Moving it alongside a board replacement adds £250, while relocating an existing board on its own costs £395. Moving the meter itself is a separate matter for your supplier or UK Power Networks.
- Board moved to a dry spot
- Easy to reach when it trips
- £250 with a new board
- £395 as a standalone job

Upwaltham questions
Asked in Upwaltham
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not usually. Swapping a consumer unit is internal work and needs no planning permission, although, as anywhere else, we notify it to Building Control as Part P requires. If your home is a listed building, tell us when you send photos, as any new cable routes or fixings should be agreed with care.
Yes, within reason. We look at where the meter is, how cables can be routed through solid walls, and where the board will stay dry and easy to reach. Relocating with a new board adds £250 to the board price. We confirm the new position with you before starting, so there are no surprises on the day.
If neighbours have lost power too, the fault is almost certainly on the network, so call UK Power Networks on 105. If it is only your home, check whether a switch on your board has tripped. Should it refuse to reset, or should your old fuse box have no switches at all, that is the time to ring us.
