Space, gardens and extensions
Larger homes and the circuits they collect
Towards the western edge of Ashdown Forest, houses are often detached and set in their own grounds, and over the years many gain extensions, garages, garden lighting and outbuildings. Every addition tends to mean another circuit, and older boards fill up fast. When no space was left, earlier electricians often fixed a second small unit or a switch fuse beside the first.
A larger home may need 14 or 16 ways rather than the 6 or 8 that suit a small cottage. At that size, full RCBO boards begin at £795, while £575 buys a 12 way high integrity dual RCD board. We count your circuits from photos and price the right size from the start.

- 14 to 16 way RCBO from £795

Specified for Chelwood VacheryWhy board size matters
Why board size matters
Picking the right number of ways
On a dual RCD board, circuits share two RCDs, so one fault can switch off half the house. In a big property that might mean the kitchen, the heating and half the lighting going off together. Splitting circuits sensibly between the two sides helps, but for larger homes a full RCBO board, which protects each circuit separately, is usually the better answer.
We also leave spare ways wherever the enclosure allows, because larger homes rarely stop changing. A future garden room, heat pump or car charger then has somewhere to connect without a second board on the wall. Arc fault detection can be added too, with a 14 way RCBO and AFDD board at £1,295.
- One fault, one circuit off
- Spare ways for future plans
- No second board needed later
- AFDD option at 14 ways

Chelwood Vachery questions
Asked in Chelwood Vachery
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Count the circuits you have now, then add room for anything planned. A larger house might have separate circuits for sockets and lighting on each floor, plus a cooker, shower, immersion, heating controls, garage and outside lights. We count from your photos and allow spare ways so the board is not full on day one.
For larger homes we usually think so. With RCBOs, a fault trips only its own circuit, so the freezer, heating and lights elsewhere stay on. For 8 ways, RCBOs cost from £625, compared with £425 for dual RCD at 6 ways, and having each circuit protected separately also makes faults far quicker to trace.
Yes. Postcodes in this part of the parish follow the RH17 and TN22 districts rather than the parish boundary, which can be confusing, but it makes no difference to us. We cover every address in Sussex without a travel charge. Just include your full postcode when you text photos and we will plan the visit.
