Older homes, older cables
Rural homes and the wiring hidden in their walls
Homes around Argos Hill are rural in character: older cottages, individual houses along the lanes and, in places, farm properties. Many have been rewired in stages rather than all at once, so one property can hold modern twin and earth cable alongside much older runs that nobody has looked at for decades. The fuse box is often the first clue to how old the rest is.
Before we fit anything, we want to know what the new board will be connected to. Photos of the existing fuse box, any visible cables and the meter help us spot warning signs, such as black rubber insulated cable or round pin sockets, so the quote reflects your actual house rather than a guess.

What the tests tell us about older wiring
Fitting a new consumer unit means testing every circuit, and on older installations that is where the real story comes out. Insulation resistance readings show whether cables are breaking down, and the RCDs on a new board are less forgiving of small leaks to earth that an old fuse box never noticed. That is why an old circuit can work for years on fuses, then trip once properly protected.
If a circuit fails, we do not hide it or quietly leave it switched off. We show you the readings, explain the likely cause and quote for the fix before doing anything extra. Most faults turn out to be local, such as a damaged outside cable or a tired fitting, rather than a reason for a whole house rewire.
- Insulation tested on every circuit
- Readings shown, not hidden
- Faults quoted before any work
- Old circuits do not always mean a rewire

Argos Hill questions
Asked in Argos Hill
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Signs include black or grey rubber insulation where cables enter the board, cables with a fabric covering, round pin sockets, or light switches mounted on wooden blocks. None of these automatically means a rewire, but they tell us to look closely. A standalone EICR, from £175, gives you a full written picture before you decide anything.
We stop and talk to you. Usually we can find the cause, such as a damp outside light or a damaged cable, and quote to put it right there and then. If it cannot be fixed straight away, the circuit is left safely disconnected and clearly recorded, never connected to the new board while it is unsafe.
Not for a straightforward board change. The work happens at the consumer unit and the meter, and testing is done from the board, sockets and switches. Floorboards only come up if we find a fault that needs tracing, and we would always agree that with you before lifting anything.
