Rural homes in Plaistow parish
Bigger loads on older boards
Homes here are rural and set apart from one another, and over time houses like these take on heavier electrical loads: electric showers, induction hobs, garden offices, pond or borehole pumps and, more and more, car chargers. An older board was rarely designed for that combination, and the warning signs are warm switch fuses, crowded terminals and RCDs that trip when several things run at once.
We check how the circuits are loaded as part of our testing, then fit a board sized for the way you use electricity now. From £625 for 8 ways, a full RCBO board keeps every circuit independent, so one appliance tripping cannot take the rest of the home down with it.
- Heavy loads on their own circuits
- Warm or crowded terminals put right
- RCBO boards from £625
- Each circuit trips on its own
Specified for Durfold WoodSpikes on the supply
Spikes on the supply
Woodland lines and voltage spikes
Where electricity reaches homes by overhead line, the supply is more exposed to lightning nearby and to the switching that happens when the network clears a fault, such as a branch brushing the wires. Both can send a brief spike of voltage into the house, which is hard on the electronics inside boilers, routers, televisions and smart appliances.
Each board we install has Type 2 surge protection built in to carry that spike away to earth before your circuits are hit. If your existing board is modern and otherwise sound, we can add surge protection on its own for £165, provided there is space and a safe way to connect it.
- Type 2 device on every new board
- Retrofit on a sound board £165
- Boiler and router electronics shielded
- Lightning and switching spikes reduced

Durfold Wood questions
Asked in Durfold Wood
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Often, yes. If your board is reasonably modern, has space for the device and already gives RCD protection, we can retrofit a Type 2 surge protector for £165 and test it. If the board is older, with fuses or only partial RCD cover, replacing it usually makes more sense, and the surge protection then comes included.
Because on many older boards a single RCD protects a whole group of circuits. When any one of them develops a fault, the RCD switches off everything in that group, lights included. A full RCBO board gives every circuit its own combined protection, so a faulty kettle or outdoor socket only turns off the circuit it is on.
It can. Most devices have a small status window that changes colour once the protective element has been used up by a large surge. We show you where to look when we hand over the new board. If the indicator ever changes, give us a call, as the device has done its job and needs renewing.
