Spread out, not built up
Country homes with more circuits to carry
Westmeston has no dense estates. Its homes are spread along the lane and between fields, from cottages to farmhouses and detached houses with gardens and outbuildings. Properties like these tend to carry more circuits than a town house, so an older board is often full, extended with add-on units, or backed up by a second fuse box elsewhere.
Choosing the right size of board matters here. For a larger home, £795 buys a full RCBO board of 14 to 16 ways, enough for every circuit with room left to add more. Smaller cottages often get by with 10 ways on a dual RCD board, which costs £495.

Heating beyond mains gas
Before the oil boiler gives up
Spread out villages like Westmeston often include homes heated by oil, LPG or electricity rather than mains gas. As oil boilers age, many owners look at air source heat pumps, which need a dedicated, correctly protected circuit and enough capacity in the supply. An old fuse box is usually the first thing a heat pump installer flags.
If a heat pump is likely in the next few years, we leave a suitable spare way and check your main fuse and meter tails while we are there. Where the network supply may need increasing, we explain how to apply to UK Power Networks, who run the local grid.

Westmeston questions
Asked in Westmeston
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Usually, yes. Most heat pump installers will want a modern board with RCD protection and a spare way before they connect. Replacing it first, with the heat pump in mind, avoids a second change later. We check your supply capacity at the same visit and tell you if UK Power Networks may need to be involved.
Often it will. The largest size we fit has 14 to 16 ways, and as a full RCBO board it costs £795. Some larger homes are better served by a main board plus a smaller sub board, for example in an annexe or garage. We suggest the simplest layout that works for your home and price it before we start.
In most cases, no. Three sharp photos, one each of the main earth connection, the consumer unit and the meter, give us everything we need to set a fixed price. If anything is unclear we ask for one or two more pictures. Only a genuinely unusual layout leads us to suggest a visit first, and if that happens we explain the reason.
