Lighting circuits from another era
No earth wire on the lights?
In homes wired before the mid 1960s, lighting circuits were often installed without a protective earth conductor, because most switches and fittings of the time were made of insulating materials. If wiring from that era survives in a rural cottage, fitting metal light fittings or metal switch plates on those circuits can leave exposed metal with no earth at all.
We check for an earth at every lighting point we test. Where one is missing, we tell you which fittings must stay plastic for now, and RCD protection on the new board adds an important layer of safety until the circuit can be rewired.
- Earth checked at lighting points
- Unsafe metal fittings flagged
- RCD protection on lighting

Why surge protection earns its place out here
Rural supplies are commonly carried at least part of the way on overhead lines, which are more exposed to lightning, falling branches and the switching UK Power Networks carries out to restore power after a fault. Each event can send a brief voltage spike into the house, enough over time to damage boiler controls, broadband routers, televisions and the electronics in modern appliances.
Fitted inside the consumer unit, a Type 2 surge device sends much of that energy safely to earth. It is included with every board we fit. If your existing board is modern and you only need surge protection added, we can retrofit it for £165.
- Type 2 surge device included
- Boiler and router electronics protected
- Retrofit option at £165
- Earth path tested for the device

Dumpford questions
Asked in Dumpford
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691No. Every board we fit, at every price from £425 upwards, has a Type 2 surge device built in. It is only charged separately, at £165, when we add it to an existing board that does not need replacing. That retrofit includes checking the board is suitable and testing the earth path.
Probably not on its own. Flicker in bad weather is often caused by disturbances on the network, such as lines clashing in the wind or automatic reclosers operating after a fault. It can also point to a loose connection inside the house, which is worth ruling out. We check connections at the board and main switch when we test.
We tell you straight away and show you the result. Small faults, such as a loose connection at a socket, are usually put right while we are there. If a circuit has a more serious problem, we leave it safely disconnected, explain the options and give you a fixed price for the repair before doing anything.
