Balcombe homes and the boards behind them
Balcombe's houses cover a long stretch of time, from older cottages and farmhouses to Victorian and Edwardian homes and later twentieth century housing. That means a board of almost any age could be on the wall, from an old cast iron or wooden backed fuse box to a 1990s unit that has no space left for an extra circuit.
Its replacement is sized to the house, running from 6 ways of dual RCD protection at £425 to 14 to 16 ways of full RCBO protection at £795. Every circuit is tested once the new board is in.
- Cast iron and wooden backed boards removed
- Full 1990s units replaced
- Boards sized to the house
- Every circuit tested afterwards

Keeping the home office on when something trips
With direct trains towards Gatwick and London, Balcombe suits people who split the week between an office and home. On a typical dual RCD board, half the circuits share one RCD, so a faulty kettle or a damp outside socket can take the broadband, the desk and the lights down together, often in the middle of a call.
A full RCBO board gives every circuit its own protection, so one fault switches off one circuit and nothing else. For a typical house that means an 8 way board at £625 or 10 to 12 ways at £695. The router, computer and freezer then sit on circuits nothing else can trip.
- Every circuit independently protected
- Broadband and desk kept separate
- Freezer on its own way
- 8 way RCBO board £625

Balcombe questions
Asked in Balcombe
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes, as long as someone can let us in, or a key can be left somewhere safe. On most boards the work lasts 4 to 6 hours. Afterwards we will gladly go through the test results with you over the phone, and within 48 hours the Electrical Installation Certificate is in your email, so you know exactly what was done.
Probably not. On a shared RCD board, a fault on any circuit in that half of the board cuts power to everything else on it, router included. Tracking down the faulty appliance or circuit is part of our testing, and moving to RCBO protection stops one fault taking out unrelated circuits in future.
Inside 48 hours, you are sent an Electrical Installation Certificate listing every circuit alongside its test results. Building Control is notified by us as Part P requires, and a Building Regulations compliance certificate follows on its own. Keep both with your house documents, as a buyer's solicitor will ask for them when you sell.
