Forest edge cottages and houses

Small hamlet, wide range of boards

Colemans Hatch is a scattered hamlet of cottages and houses set among woodland and heath on the edge of the forest. Homes like these were often wired, rewired and extended at different times, so the fuse box may be the oldest part of the system or simply the latest of several changes. Either way, it is where weaknesses tend to show.

A fixed price from your photos covers the board, surge protection, labelling and a full test of every circuit. Most cottages need nothing bigger than 6 ways on a dual RCD board, at £425, or an RCBO board of 8 ways at £625.

Specified for Colemans HatchStorage heaters and off peak meters
Storage heaters and off peak meters

Two tariffs, sometimes two boards

Homes heated by electric storage heaters usually have a two rate meter, often called Economy 7, with the heaters running from a separate supply switched by the meter or a timeswitch. That can mean a second fuse box tucked beside the first, sometimes even older. Replacing one and not the other leaves half the heating on outdated protection.

We look at both from your photos and can replace each one, or combine circuits onto a single new board where the meter wiring allows. Heaters, the immersion and any other off peak circuits are tested and labelled, so you can see exactly what runs on the cheaper rate.

  • Off peak board replaced too
  • Storage heater circuits tested
  • Immersion timing checked
  • Every circuit labelled by tariff

Usually one serves the everyday circuits and the other the off peak supply for storage heaters and the immersion heater. Sometimes a second box was added for a later extension or an outbuilding. A photo of both, plus the meter, lets us work out which is which and quote for replacing them.

No. The tariff is set by your meter and your energy supplier, and we change neither. The new board connects to the same meter outputs, so the cheaper night rate keeps running the heaters and hot water as before. We check that the timings work properly once everything is reconnected.

Not necessarily. The board can be changed first and the existing heaters wired to it as they are. If you are planning new heaters, a heat pump or a different heating system in the next year or two, tell us, and we will size the board and leave spare ways so the change needs no further board work.
