Old and newer side by side
Framfield homes and the boards inside them
Framfield mixes period cottages and houses near the church with later homes on the roads around them. The older buildings often had electricity added long after they were built, with cables run through thick walls, under floors and behind beams. The newer homes tend to have their original consumer unit, sometimes plastic, sometimes with only part of the house on an RCD.
Whichever kind of house you have, most boards go in within 4 to 6 hours, with the power off for part of that time. No circuit is reconnected until it has been tested, and the readings are recorded on your Electrical Installation Certificate, which we email inside 48 hours. A full RCBO board, where a fault on one circuit leaves the others on, starts from £625.

Careful board changes in Framfield's older houses
Period houses deserve care. In the older parts of Framfield, we plan the work so that the new consumer unit goes where the old board was wherever that is sensible, reusing existing cable routes rather than chasing new ones into old plaster or timber. Where a cable has to be extended, we look for a route that leaves the fabric of the building alone.
If your house is listed and you plan anything more than a straight swap, such as new cable runs through historic walls, speak to Wealden District Council first. We can set out in writing exactly what the work involves, which makes that conversation much easier.
- Existing cable routes reused
- Minimal disturbance to old walls
- Written scope on request
- Dust sheets and a tidy finish

Framfield questions
Asked in Framfield
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Rarely. In most board changes the new consumer unit connects to the cables already running to the old board, so nothing needs chasing into walls or beams. If a circuit is too short to reach, we extend it with a proper joint in an accessible place. We tell you beforehand if any making good will be needed.
It is possible. Some fuse boxes from before the 1980s used asbestos in small parts, such as the flash pads inside rewireable fuse carriers or the panel behind the board. We look for the signs in your photos and again on arrival. If we suspect asbestos, we stop and advise testing before the old board comes off, rather than taking a chance.
Both lose mains power while the board is changed, so expect the router to be off for part of the day. An intruder alarm with a backup battery should keep running, but a monitored system may report the mains failure, so warn your alarm company beforehand. Everything is reconnected and checked before we leave.
