Roadside homes and quieter lanes
One house, three generations of fuses
Homes at Windmill Hill range from older cottages to twentieth century houses and bungalows, spread along the main road and the lanes leading off it. The boards inside them are just as varied: old fuse carriers on a wooden panel, an extra box or two added for a later extension, or a 1990s unit with a single RCD covering every circuit in the house.
A single RCD board is a common source of frustration, because one faulty appliance can plunge the whole house into darkness. Splitting circuits across two RCDs, from £425, or giving each circuit its own RCBO, from £625, means a fault only takes out the circuit it is on.

Specified for Windmill HillHigh ground and overhead lines
High ground and overhead lines
Exposed ground, storms and voltage spikes
Windmills were built where the wind blows hardest, and higher ground like this takes the full force of the weather. Rural supplies in this part of Sussex often arrive on overhead lines, which can carry brief voltage spikes during storms or when the network switches. Those spikes rarely blow a fuse, but they can quietly damage boiler controls, routers and the circuit boards inside appliances.
Type 2 surge protection is part of every new board we fit, and it costs nothing extra. If your consumer unit was replaced in recent years without one and is otherwise in good order, we can retrofit surge protection for £165 rather than change the whole board.
- Type 2 surge protection included
- Retrofit option at £165
- Helps protect heating controls
- Earthing checked on overhead supplies

Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not from a direct strike, which needs a dedicated lightning protection system. What a Type 2 device does is limit the smaller and far more common spikes that travel along the supply after a nearby strike or network switching. It diverts that energy to earth before it reaches sensitive electronics, which is why it comes as standard on every board we fit.
A new board alone will not cure a fault, but the testing that comes with it will find it. Tripping like this is often caused by a leaky appliance, damp in an outside light or a tired immersion heater element. We trace the cause and explain it, and with RCBOs any future fault only affects the circuit it is on.
The supply has to be off while the board is changed, which is most of a four to six hour job. We switch circuits back on as soon as each one is tested, and a full freezer kept closed normally holds its temperature well over that time. Tell us beforehand if anything in the house cannot lose power, such as medical equipment.
