Spread out, rural, varied
Rural homes with older supply equipment
A hamlet such as Woods Corner is a loose cluster of rural houses and cottages, some of them standing long before modern wiring rules existed. In older homes it is not only the fuse box that ages: the meter tails, the main switch and the connections between them can all date from an earlier installation, sometimes with tired or undersized cables.
With each board change we renew meter tails that are worn or undersized for the supply, and check the main earthing conductor. A 6 way board with dual RCDs is the entry point at £425, full RCBO protection begins at £625, and Type 2 surge protection is built into both.
- Worn meter tails renewed
- Main earth conductor checked
- New main switch with the board
- Every circuit tested

The cut-out, the meter and the board: who does what
Between the cable from the network and your fuse box sit the service cut-out, which belongs to UK Power Networks, and the meter, which belongs to your energy supplier. On rural properties the cut-out can be decades old. We cannot alter it, but we look at whether it is cracked, scorched or showing signs of overheating when we arrive.
If it is, we photograph it and tell you how to report it on 105, the national number for power cuts and network safety, and plan the board change around the network engineer's visit if isolation is needed. A larger main fuse for a heat pump or charger follows the same route.
- Cut-out condition checked
- Damage reported, not ignored
- Board change timed around repairs
- Main fuse size noted
Getting to you
Heading east to Woods Corner
Seen from Brighton & Hove, Woods Corner is towards the eastern edge of the Heathfield area, and we usually reach it by heading out through Heathfield towards Battle. There is still no travel charge. We quote a fixed price from text photos of the meter and board, and if the house has lost power completely, phoning gets you the earliest visit we can make.

Woods Corner questions
Asked in Woods Corner
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691That box is usually the service cut-out, which holds the main fuse and belongs to UK Power Networks, so only the network operator may work on it. Call 105 to report damage, especially any scorching or a burning smell. We can fit your new consumer unit once it is safe, and we are happy to coordinate dates so you are not without power twice.
Meter tails are the two thick cables running from the meter to your consumer unit. Older ones may be thinner than current guidance for the supply, or have brittle, cracked sheathing. We check them at every board change, renew them where needed, and make sure they are properly supported and securely connected at both ends.
Someone needs to let us in, show us the board and meter, and be around at the end when we walk you through the new unit and the test results. In between, you are free to come and go. If the property has its own earth rod, we will also need access to wherever it sits in the garden.
