A handful of rural homes
Country properties, hidden cable runs
As a hamlet, Black Hill is a scattering of houses rather than a village with a centre. Rural homes like these often have long cable runs through lofts, roof voids and outbuildings, some added piecemeal over the decades. Cables tucked away in those spaces can be damaged without anyone seeing it, whether by rodents, careless fixings or simply age and heat.
A board change is the moment to test everything properly. Insulation and continuity readings on each circuit show whether a cable is struggling, and the new consumer unit adds RCD and surge protection. There are three board types to pick from: dual RCD, starting at £425; full RCBO, starting at £625; or one with arc fault protection.
- Long runs in lofts and voids
- Every circuit tested
- Checks for damaged cables
- Choice of three board types

Arc fault detection
AFDDs and the faults ordinary breakers miss
An arc fault happens when a damaged cable or loose connection lets current jump a tiny gap, creating intense heat. It might be a nail through a cable, a chewed wire in the loft or a worn flex behind furniture. Standard breakers are not designed to spot this, because the current involved can look perfectly normal, yet it can still start a fire.
An arc fault detection device watches the electrical signature on each circuit and disconnects when it recognises arcing. In homes with long cable runs through lofts and voids, that early warning carries real value. A combined RCBO and AFDD board costs £1,095 at 10 ways, or £1,295 at 14.
- Detects arcing on each circuit
- Covers chewed and pierced cables
- 10 way AFDD board £1,095
- 14 way AFDD board £1,295

Black Hill questions
Asked in Black Hill
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not in an ordinary house. The current wiring regulations recommend them, and require them in some higher risk buildings such as HMOs and tall blocks of flats. For a family home they are an optional upgrade that adds a further layer of fire protection on top of RCDs and circuit breakers, and we will price both so you can compare.
Early devices had a reputation for occasional unwanted trips, and some appliances with motors or dimmers can still upset them. Modern AFDDs are much better at telling the difference. Many show an indicator after tripping, which helps work out whether there is a genuine fault or an appliance that needs attention.
It is worth having it checked. Rodents gnaw cable sheathing, and damage in a loft can go unnoticed for years. During a board change we test insulation on every circuit, which can reveal damaged cables, and we can look at accessible runs in the loft. Arc fault detection then adds ongoing protection afterwards.
