Gossops Green houses
Built for a lighter load
Gossops Green was laid out as one of Crawley's new town neighbourhoods, so most homes are terraced or semi detached houses and low rise flats from the second half of the twentieth century. When they were new, a household might run a cooker, an immersion heater and a handful of sockets. Today the same house may have a shower of 9 kW or more, an oven, an induction hob and a tumble dryer.
The board has to protect each of those circuits correctly, with the right size of device for the cable behind it. During a board change we check and record every circuit, and if one has been upgraded without its cable being changed, we tell you before anything is switched back on.
- Device sized to each cable
- Shower circuit checked
- Oven and hob circuits checked
- Undersized cables flagged first

Heavy circuits
Electric showers, hobs and the cables feeding them
An electric shower or induction hob draws more current than almost anything else in a home. When one is swapped for a more powerful model, the cable and the protective device should be checked too, but that step is sometimes missed. A cable running hotter than it should can seem fine for years while it slowly damages its insulation and the terminals at the board.
We look for scorching, loose terminals and mismatched ratings as we take the old board out. On the new board each heavy circuit gets a correctly rated breaker and RCD or RCBO protection. Prices start at £425 for dual RCD protection and £625 for full RCBO.
- Scorch marks and heat damage checked
- Breaker matched to cable size
- RCD protection on every circuit
- Dual RCD from £425

Gossops Green questions
Asked in Gossops Green
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691The board can take a larger breaker, but the cable from the board to the shower decides what is safe. A bigger shower often needs a thicker cable. When we fit your board, we check the existing shower circuit and can tell you the largest shower it will safely supply, so you buy a model that suits the wiring you have.
It may well be the oven rather than the board. An element that is breaking down often leaks current to earth, which an RCD rightly detects and switches off. We test the oven circuit when we change the board, and if the fault follows the appliance we will tell you, so you are not paying to fix the wrong thing.
Most need a dedicated circuit, usually the same type as a cooker circuit, and many larger models draw more current than an older cooker point was designed for. Check the rating in the hob's installation instructions. If you are planning a new kitchen, tell us when you book and we will leave the board ready for it.
