A small rural settlement
What sits in the meter cupboard out here
With only a few homes, Whydown has no standard house type, and we would not pretend otherwise. Rural properties on the edge of a town often have boards that have been altered several times over the years: a newer RCD unit running alongside an older fuse box, a garage supply taken from wherever was handy, or a shower fed through its own separate switch.
We start by finding out exactly what you have. A few photos of the board usually tell us enough to fix the price, and on the day we test the supply, the earthing and every circuit before the old equipment comes off the wall.

Weather, lines and voltage spikes
Why a surge protector earns its place here
Where a supply crosses open farmland on poles, a lightning strike nearby or switching on the network can send a brief spike of voltage along the line and into the house. Modern homes are full of electronics that dislike that: boiler controls, routers, televisions and the circuit boards hidden inside washing machines, fridges and ovens.
Each board we install carries a Type 2 surge protector as standard, sending those spikes to earth before your appliances feel them. It cannot stop a direct strike on the house, but it deals with the far more common indirect surges. If your board is only a few years old, we can retrofit one for £165.
- Type 2 surge protection on every new board
- Retrofit to a newer board for £165
- Shields boiler controls and electronics
- Earth path tested so the device can work

Travel and timing for Whydown
We drive east along the A27 and A259 towards Bexhill, leaving the main road before the town centre. Most jobs go in the diary a few days ahead once the photo quote is agreed, but when the power has failed or a breaker will not reset, call us and we will do our best to get there the same day.

Whydown questions
Asked in Whydown
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691No device on a domestic board can promise that. A Type 2 surge protector is designed for the induced spikes that travel along cables when lightning strikes nearby or the network switches, which happen far more often. It limits those to a level your appliances can tolerate. Protecting against a direct strike needs a separate lightning protection system, which few houses have.
Every way on the new board is labelled in plain words, such as kitchen sockets or upstairs lights, rather than codes. The schedule on your certificate lists the same circuits along with their test readings. If you add a circuit later, whoever does that work should update both the label and the schedule.
Not for most of it, because the power has to be off while the board is changed, which usually takes 4 to 6 hours. Many people work elsewhere for the day or plan calls for the evening. If a router or a medical device must be kept running, tell us when you book so we can talk through the order of work.
