Farmland hamlet in Firle parish
Fuse Box Replacement in Wick Street
Farmland surrounds Wick Street, a small hamlet in Firle parish out to the east of Lewes. Homes out here are often on rural supplies, so when we replace a fuse box at Wick Street we look just as closely at the earthing as at the board itself.

A few houses, many histories
What tends to sit inside a hamlet home
A hamlet of a few houses has no standard house type. Cottages, farm dwellings and later homes sit near one another, and each has been rewired, extended or left alone at a different time. That shows on the board: we come across old rewireable fuse carriers, early plastic consumer units, and boards carrying extra circuits added by several different people over the years.
Pictures of the board, meter and incoming cable answer most of our questions before we put a price on the job. In a smaller home two RCDs, from £425, are often plenty, while a larger or extended house is better suited to RCBOs across 10 to 12 ways at £695.
- Rewireable fuses replaced
- Added circuits brought onto one board
- Board size matched to the house
- Every circuit tested and labelled
Specified for Wick StreetCountry supplies, ground earths
Country supplies, ground earths
Overhead cables, earth rods and a proper test
Out in open countryside, small settlements are often supplied by overhead lines, and plenty of homes like these are on TT earthing, relying on an earth rod sunk in the soil close to the house instead of an earth from UK Power Networks. A rod that has corroded, been disturbed by digging or never been tested can give far less protection than its owner assumes.
Where a Wick Street home has an earth rod, we measure its resistance during the board change and record the reading on your certificate. If it is poor, we explain the options before going further. On a TT supply the RCD protection in the new board is what keeps you safe, so the two belong together.
- Earth electrode resistance measured
- Reading recorded on your certificate
- Type 2 surge protection included
- Supply questions referred to UK Power Networks

Wick Street questions
Asked in Wick Street
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near the meter for a green and yellow cable that leaves the house or heads to a small inspection pit outside, rather than connecting to the incoming supply cable. A clear photo of the meter area usually settles it. Still unsure? Send us a picture of whatever you can see, and we will give you our view before anyone visits.
We would not leave a new board relying on a poor earth. In most cases a new or additional rod brings the reading down to a safe level, and we explain what that involves and costs before any extra work is done. The aim is a result that passes testing on the day, so your certificate can be issued and Building Control notified.
The supply is off for most of the job, typically 4 to 6 hours for a standard board change, because every circuit has to be disconnected, moved across and tested. We tell you in advance roughly when the power goes off and when it should be back, so you can plan around freezers, heating and working from home.
