Older houses, careful work
Fuse boxes in Aldingbourne's older homes
Country houses and cottages of some age have usually had their wiring renewed piecemeal, so the board ends up as the meeting point of cables from several decades. In homes like these it is common to find rubber or early PVC cable on some circuits, missing earths on old lighting runs and main bonding that was never upgraded. None of that rules out a board change, but it all has to be found and recorded first.
If testing shows a circuit is too poor to connect safely, we explain why and price the remedy before going further, rather than leaving you with a new board on old faults. A typical cottage is covered either by dual RCD protection on 10 ways, at £495, or by an 8 way RCBO board at £625.

Neat routes through old walls
In a period home, how the new board and its cables are run matters as much as the board. Thick solid or flint walls, beams and lath and plaster ceilings do not take kindly to fresh chases. We plan the position of the consumer unit and any extended cables to avoid needless damage, reusing existing routes or choosing discreet surface runs where that is kinder to the building.
For a listed building, it is sensible to speak to Arun District Council before any work that alters the fabric, such as moving the board elsewhere. Swapping like for like in the same spot normally involves little beyond new fixings, and we will set out exactly what we plan to do.
- Existing cable routes reused
- Discreet surface runs where needed
- Minimal disturbance to old walls
- Board position agreed with you

Aldingbourne questions
Asked in Aldingbourne
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Usually, yes. We test every circuit first, and cables in fair condition are connected to the new board as they are. If a circuit fails insulation testing or lacks an earth where one is needed, we explain the options and price the fix before going further. Occasionally a circuit has to stay disconnected until it has been repaired.
A dual RCD board splits the circuits into two groups, and a fault on any one of them trips its whole group, often half the house. RCBOs give each circuit an individual trip, so only the faulty one goes off. In an older home, where one tired circuit may trip now and then, that keeps the rest running while it is put right. RCBO boards start at £625 for 8 ways.
Very little for a like for like swap. The new consumer unit is mounted in the old one's place and the existing cables are terminated into it, so walls and floors are normally left alone. The building is only disturbed if the board moves, a circuit has to be renewed or new bonding must reach a pipe, and any such route is agreed with you first.
