Byworth's older homes and their consumer units
Byworth keeps the feel of a hamlet even with Petworth so close, its older cottages and houses set along the lane rather than laid out as an estate. Properties of this age have usually been rewired at least once, and some boards still carry the rewireable or cartridge fuses of an earlier generation, with no RCD protection for anyone touching a faulty appliance.
Changing one of those boards is a big step up in safety. A modern consumer unit trips in milliseconds on an earth leakage fault, and with surge protection included as standard, sensitive electronics get some defence too. Our starting point is £425, which buys a 6 way board with dual RCD protection.
- Old fuse carriers retired
- Earth leakage protection added
- Surge protection included

Damp walls and stray trips
Tracking down damp before it trips the board
Older solid-walled cottages can hold moisture, and outside lights, garden sockets and cables passing through cold walls are all places where damp gets into electrics. On an old fuse box it goes unnoticed. Fit a new RCD board and that same tiny leakage may suddenly trip it, which can make the new board look like the problem.
That is why insulation resistance testing is part of every job. We test each circuit before connecting it to the new board, find any that are leaking, and tell you which ones and why. With a full RCBO board, priced from £625, a damp outside light knocks off nothing but its own circuit.
- Insulation tested on every circuit
- Leaking circuits identified
- Outside lights and sockets checked
- RCBO keeps faults isolated

Call 0333 360 8691Not if the circuits are sound. We test insulation before connecting anything, so a circuit with a leak is found on the day rather than discovered when it trips at midnight. If one fails, we explain the cause and the options. Once any faults are cleared, the board should only trip when something is genuinely wrong.
Usually water getting into the fitting, a junction box or the point where the cable enters. The leakage is enough for an RCD to sense and cut the power, which means it is doing its job. We can find the faulty item during testing, and with a full RCBO board a problem like that switches off only the one circuit.
A wooden backboard, rewireable fuses or a cast iron main switch are clear signs that the board predates modern protection. It may still be working, but it gives no protection against electric shock from earth leakage and no surge protection. Replacing it is one of the most worthwhile safety upgrades an older home can have.
