Farmhouses and country cottages

Weald farmhouses with patched up wiring

Ashurst is a scattered parish of farmhouses and cottages, with later houses among them, many standing well apart. Older country homes in the Low Weald were often wired in stages, so it is not unusual to find a main fuse box, a separate unit for a kitchen extension and another for an outbuilding, all fed from the same meter.

Combining those onto one well labelled consumer unit makes the installation easier to understand and safer to work on. Bigger farmhouses with a long list of circuits can move to an RCBO board of 14 to 16 ways, priced from £795, which protects every circuit independently and leaves room to spare.

  • Multiple old units combined
  • 14 to 16 way boards for larger homes
  • Kitchen and outbuilding feeds traced
  • Whole installation tested

Swapping oil for a heat pump

Scattered rural parishes like Ashurst often sit beyond the reach of mains gas, so homes rely on oil, LPG or electric heating. When an oil boiler reaches the end of its life, an air source heat pump is a common alternative, but it brings a large new electrical load and needs its own dedicated circuit and protection at the consumer unit.

We check the main fuse, meter tails and earthing before recommending a board, and fit one with a protected way set aside for the heat pump. If the supply needs to be increased, we explain the application to UK Power Networks so your heating installer is not held up.

  • Main fuse and tails checked
  • Advice on supply upgrades
  • Board sized for the new load

Possibly. A heat pump needs its own circuit with suitable protection and spare capacity on the board, and older fuse boxes rarely have either. Photos of your fuse board and meter let us say whether it needs replacing and what size of board would leave room for the heat pump and anything else you have planned.

It depends on the number of circuits rather than the size of the house. We count lighting, sockets, cooker, shower, immersion, outbuildings and any heating or pumps, then add spare ways. Many larger homes are well served by 14 to 16 ways of RCBO protection, which starts at £795, whereas 8 or 10 ways often does for a smaller cottage.

Yes. Your boiler, immersion heater and any pumps are reconnected to the new board on their own protected circuits, then tested. If we find that a boiler spur or immersion circuit was wired incorrectly or undersized, we show you and give a fixed price to correct it before carrying on.
