Roadside homes and side lanes
Houses by the main road and down the lanes
Homes in Watersfield range from older cottages near the road to twentieth century houses set back along the side lanes. That spread shows up in the fuse boxes we expect to see: some with rewireable or cartridge fuses on an old wooden backboard, others from the 1980s or 1990s with partial RCD cover, and a few already replaced but without surge protection.
The right replacement depends on what is there. Pictures showing the board and meter tell us whether a dual RCD board with 10 ways, at £495, will do or whether full RCBO makes more sense, and they let us spot any extra work before we arrive rather than after.
- Cartridge and rewireable fuses replaced
- Partial RCD cover brought up to date
- Surge protection added as standard
- Wooden backboards removed

When the board lives in a garage or outhouse
Low lying ground and river meadows make for misty mornings and damp air, and the places fuse boxes often end up, such as garages, lean-tos and outhouses, are rarely heated. Over the years condensation can corrode terminals, discolour plastic and leave rust on older metal enclosures, all of which make a board less reliable.
Where a board sits somewhere damp, we look at whether it can stay there in a suitable enclosure or would be better moved into the house, which adds £250 when done alongside a new board. Either way, every circuit is insulation tested, because moisture often shows up there first.
- Corrosion checked at every terminal
- Enclosure suited to the location
- Move indoors priced at £250
- Insulation tests on every circuit

Watersfield questions
Asked in Watersfield
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It can, provided the garage is reasonably dry and the board is protected from knocks and vehicles. We check the enclosure and connections from your photos and again on the day. If damp has already caused corrosion, moving the board into the house is often the better long term answer, and we price that separately.
Signs include rust or white powdery deposits on the board, a musty smell inside the cupboard, or an RCD that trips on wet nights and then resets. The certain answer comes from insulation resistance testing, which we carry out on every circuit when the new board goes in, recording the readings on your certificate.
Clear access to the board and the meter, and if the board is in a garage, make room to stand and work. Let us know about freezers, medical equipment or alarms that need power, so we can plan when the supply goes off. Most changes take four to six hours.
