Among the first new town streets
Fuse Box Replacement in West Green
West Green, just north west of Crawley town centre, was one of the first neighbourhoods of the new town. Houses from that era can still hide rewireable fuses or lighting circuits with no earth wire. We replace the board at a fixed price and check for exactly that.

Early new town homes
Houses from the first wave of building
West Green's homes are mostly terraces, semis and low rise flats from the early years of the new town, with some later infill. By now most will have been rewired at least in part, but traces of early wiring can survive: a length of older cable in the loft, an original lighting circuit, or a fuse carrier with wire wrapped round it.
Replacing the board without looking at those leftovers would only fix half the problem. We test every circuit and inspect what we can reach, then tell you plainly what is sound and what is not before the new board goes live.

Older lighting circuits and metal fittings
Lighting circuits installed before the mid 1960s often had no earth conductor, because the rules of the time did not require one. That is not automatically dangerous, but it matters if anyone has since fitted metal light fittings or metal switch plates, which need an earth to be safe. It is one of the details we look for in homes of this age.
If a lighting circuit has no earth, we record it and advise on the options: plastic fittings and switches designed for an unearthed circuit, or rewiring that circuit. RCD protection on the new board adds an important layer of safety in the meantime. Nothing is hidden on the certificate.

- Metal fittings flagged
- Class II options explained

West Green bookings and callouts
Getting to West Green is an easy run up the A23 and M23. Getting there adds nothing to the price. A texted picture of the board, plus any label inside it, lets us price the job. Our aim is to come out the same day if a fuse keeps blowing or the board smells hot, so phone rather than text.

West Green questions
Asked in West Green
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Rewireable fuses are not dangerous in themselves when correctly rated, but they are easy to repair with the wrong thickness of wire, and they offer no protection against electric shock. That is what an RCD provides. A dual RCD board replacing a fuse box starts at £425, with surge protection and whole house testing included.
Only with fittings designed for use without an earth, usually marked as Class II, or after the circuit has been rewired with an earth conductor. Metal downlights need an earth. We can tell you which of your lighting circuits have one when we test them during the board change, so you know before buying fittings.
Not if the wiring is in reasonable condition. Tripping comes from genuine faults, such as damp, damaged insulation or a neutral shared between two circuits, which an old fuse box would never have noticed. We test for these before switching on and either fix or explain anything that would cause nuisance tripping.
