A village of many ages
From old cottages to post war closes
Barcombe Cross has grown over a long period, so its homes range from older cottages and Victorian houses to twentieth century closes and some newer infill. Out across the parish are farmhouses and other rural homes. A house's age is only a rough guide to its wiring, because many older homes have been rewired while some later ones still have their first board.
So we judge each property by testing it, not by its date. Insulation resistance, continuity and polarity tests on every circuit show whether the cables can safely carry on. The results go on your certificate, and we explain them in plain English rather than leaving you with a page of numbers.
- Cottages to modern homes
- Every circuit insulation tested
- Results explained plainly
- Certificate within 48 hours

Rewire, or just the board?
When older wiring meets a new consumer unit
A fair worry in any older home is that changing the board will expose problems in the wiring. Sometimes it does: modern RCDs are sensitive, and old cables with weak insulation or a shared neutral can trip them. That is not the new board being faulty. It is the board doing its job and finding something that was always there.
Where we find a fault, we explain it and price the repair before going further. Where wiring is old or out of sight, a 10 way RCBO board with arc fault detection, priced from £1,095, guards against the sparking faults that ordinary breakers can miss.
- Faults found, explained and priced
- No rewire unless tests show it
- AFDD boards from £1,095
- Shared neutrals separated

Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not usually. In many homes the cables are in good order and only the board needs changing, perhaps with a minor repair. A full rewire is only worth recommending when the tests show the cables themselves are failing, for example very low insulation readings or old rubber insulated wiring. If so, we tell you before starting, not halfway through.
An arc fault detection device watches for the tiny sparks caused by a damaged cable, a loose connection or a worn flex, and switches off before they can start a fire. They are not compulsory in most houses, but they make good sense where wiring is old, hidden in timber or hard to inspect.
Yes. A standalone EICR reports on the condition of the whole installation, board and wiring alike, and costs between £175 and £350 according to how large the property is. If you would rather go straight to a board change, an EICR can be added to the job for £99.
