Few homes, many decades
Older homes being brought up to date
Being a small rural hamlet, Blackham has homes built across a long stretch of time, as most places its size do, from older cottages through to twentieth century houses. When houses like these change hands, new owners often plan a kitchen, a bathroom or a general refresh, and the first thing any electrician checks is whether the existing board can safely take new work.
Often it cannot. A board with rewireable fuses, no RCDs or no spare ways means any new circuit needs a new consumer unit first. We replace the board, test what is already there and leave spare capacity, so the renovation can go ahead on a sound footing.
- Rewireable fuses removed
- Existing wiring tested first
- RCD protection throughout

Getting the board done ahead of a renovation
A kitchen refit, a new shower or a utility room all add circuits, and under the current wiring regulations those circuits need RCD protection that an old fuse box cannot give. If your builder or kitchen fitter has said the board must be changed, booking it early keeps their programme on track and stops the electrics becoming the hold up.
We fit the new board, test every existing circuit and send the certificate within 48 hours. Whoever wires the new kitchen or bathroom then connects to a board that is ready for them. Where we find faults on the existing wiring, you hear about them before the walls are plastered over.

- Faults found before plastering
- Certificate in 48 hours

Blackham questions
Asked in Blackham
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Very likely. Any new circuit has to be RCD protected, which a fuse box of that age cannot offer, so work hooked up to it cannot be properly certified. Replacing the board first lets the new circuits be added and signed off without problems. Let us have a photo and the date your fitter plans to begin, and we will plan around it as far as we can.
Yes, as long as the area around the board is clear and safe to work in. It is often a sensible moment, as floors and walls may already be open. We will ask whether any walls near the board are coming down or moving, so the new unit goes somewhere it can stay for good.
Testing tells us. When we change the board we measure insulation resistance and continuity on every circuit, which shows whether the cables are still in good condition. If they are, the renovation can carry on using them. If not, you find out before decorating, and you can decide what to do with the full picture in front of you.
