Farmhouses and cottages
Old buildings with long electrical histories
Coombes is a place of farmhouses and cottages rather than modern streets. Rural buildings like these were often wired in stages over many decades, so it is common to find an old fuse box serving the original rooms, a newer unit added for an extension, and cables run through roof spaces and outbuildings by different hands at different times.
Before quoting we ask for photos of every board and switch you can find. On the day we bring everything onto a single consumer unit where it is safe to do so, and we take particular care testing the insulation of the older circuits, since that is where any weakness usually shows.
- Every board and switch accounted for
- Older circuits insulation tested

Arc fault detection for a remote home
An arc fault detection device watches a circuit for the tiny sparking that comes from a damaged cable, a loose connection or a crushed flex, faults that ordinary breakers and RCDs can miss. In a small hamlet away from the main roads, with neighbours some distance off, catching a fault before it becomes a fire matters more than it might in a busy town street.
An RCBO and AFDD board puts both kinds of protection into a single device on each circuit, priced from £1,095 with 10 ways or £1,295 with 14. They suit older properties with timber floors and roof spaces especially well. You will get a straight opinion from us on whether the extra cost makes sense for your home.
- RCBO plus AFDD from £1,095
- Detects series and parallel arcing
- Well suited to older timber structures
- Straight advice on whether it is worth it

Coombes questions
Asked in Coombes
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not to us. The split simply follows the Lancing and Steyning postal areas. Your price, our no travel charge policy and the work itself are the same either way, and the Part P notification goes to Adur District Council for any home in the parish. We handle that notification for you.
Modern devices are good at telling a genuine arc from normal switching, but some older appliances, motors and dimmers can occasionally upset them. If that happens, we work out which appliance is responsible rather than simply removing the protection. Once the circuits themselves are sound, most homes have no trouble with them at all.
Older cable in a roof space is not automatically dangerous, but it deserves a proper look. We check its insulation and condition during testing, including any damage from mice or squirrels, which rural lofts often attract. Where a section is worn, we show you and quote to replace it, and an AFDD adds a further layer of protection on those circuits.
