Homes of several decades
What sits behind the meter cupboard door
Strung out along the main road and the lanes off it, the small village of Chelwood Gate has houses from several decades rather than one uniform estate. That mix shows up in the boards we are sent: some homes still have rewireable fuses, while others have a plastic split load unit where one RCD covers only half the circuits.
The simplest change, to a dual RCD board with 6 ways, starts at £425. If you would like each circuit protected on its own, a full RCBO board starts at £625. Whichever you pick, the price takes in Type 2 surge protection plus a complete test of the house wiring.
- Rewireable fuses removed
- Split load units brought up to date

Planning ahead for a home charger
In a village where most journeys start by car, more households are switching to electric, and charging on the driveway is the obvious answer. A typical 7 kW charger needs its own 32 amp circuit, and an older board rarely has a spare way or suitable protection for it. The incoming supply also has to cope with the extra load.
When you send photos, include the main fuse on the meter cutout and mention the charger. We leave a protected way ready, tell you whether the supply looks adequate and record it all on the certificate, so the charger installer can connect without touching the board again.
- Spare way for a 7 kW charger
- Main fuse rating checked
- Earthing noted for the charger fitter
- Ready before the charger arrives

Chelwood Gate questions
Asked in Chelwood Gate
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Sometimes, if the existing board has a spare way, protection suited to the charger and is in good condition. Many older units fall short on at least one of those points. From a single photo we can say plainly whether yours will take a charger as it stands or whether a new consumer unit is the better route.
The main fuse sits in the sealed cutout where the supply cable enters, and is usually marked 60, 80 or 100 amps. It limits how much the whole house can draw at once. With a charger, an electric shower and a cooker on one supply, 60 amps can be tight, and UK Power Networks can be asked to upgrade it.
Rarely. Most wiring is fit to stay, and our tests show which circuits are healthy. If one fails, perhaps through damaged cable or a missing earth, we show you the result and quote for that circuit alone. A full rewire is only suggested when the test results genuinely support it.
