Timber frames and old brick
Period houses that need a gentle approach
Ditchling's centre around the crossroads and church is a conservation area with many listed buildings, including timber framed houses, while Victorian and later homes line the roads leading out. Older buildings like these often hide cables in voids, behind panelling and under floors, and the fuse box may sit in a cupboard nobody wants disturbed.
We keep the new board where the old one was unless you want it moved, and we avoid cutting into historic fabric. If cable routes need changing, we agree them with you first. Where a change might affect the character of a listed building, check with the planning authority before work starts.

AFDD boards for timber framed homes
Arc fault detection devices watch for the electrical signature of a damaged cable or loose connection that is arcing, a fault that ordinary breakers and RCDs may not notice. BS 7671 recommends them, and they are particularly worth considering where the structure of a building would burn readily, such as a timber frame.
A board combining RCBOs with AFDDs costs £1,095 in a 10 way size and £1,295 in a 14 way size, surge protection included. If your budget points to a standard full RCBO board instead, we explain the trade off honestly and let you decide.
- AFDD boards from £1,095
- 14 way option at £1,295
- Suited to timber framed homes
- Surge protection included

Ditchling questions
Asked in Ditchling
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691A like for like board change inside the house rarely affects a building's special character, but responsibility for consent rests with the owner. If the work changes anything visible, such as new cable runs or a different board position, check with the planning authority first. We describe exactly what will change so you can ask with confidence.
It depends on the house and how much reassurance you want. AFDDs add protection against arcing faults, which can start fires without tripping a normal breaker. For timber framed homes, or where wiring runs through old hidden voids, we think they are worth considering. Elsewhere, a standard full RCBO board, priced from £625, is still a perfectly sound choice.
For a straightforward board change, no. We work at the board itself and test each circuit from there and at accessible points. Floorboards or panelling only come up if a fault must be traced or a cable rerouted, and we agree that with you first. Floors and surfaces are protected while we work.
