Halnaker's houses
Roadside cottages near the line of Stane Street
The road through Halnaker runs close to the line of Stane Street, the Roman road from Chichester to London, and the village's homes are strung along it and the lanes nearby. Older cottages, many in flint and brick, sit alongside later houses. Properties that have stood this long have usually been wired, extended and rewired in stages, seldom all at once.
That staged history matters at the consumer unit. A cottage may have lighting on an old circuit, sockets on a newer one and a kitchen or bathroom extension added later, sometimes without the RCD cover today's rules expect. A new board brings every circuit up to the same level of protection.

Arc fault protection
AFDDs for older homes with hidden wiring
An arc fault detection device watches a circuit for the electrical signature of arcing, the kind caused by a loose connection, a damaged cable or a nail through a wire. Ordinary breakers and RCDs are not designed to spot it. In older cottages, where cables pass through timber and voids that are hard to inspect, that extra layer can make real sense.
BS 7671 now recommends AFDDs more widely in homes. Our RCBO plus AFDD boards start at £1,095 and give each circuit overcurrent, earth fault and arc fault protection in one. We will say honestly whether your home warrants it, or whether a standard RCBO board from £625 is enough.

Halnaker questions
Asked in Halnaker
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It is a device that detects arcing on a circuit, which can start a fire before a normal breaker or RCD would react. It is not compulsory in most existing houses, but it is a sensible upgrade where wiring is older or hidden in timber. We will tell you plainly whether it is worth the extra cost for your home.
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 6 years, and the board itself carries the manufacturer's own warranty. Within 48 hours an Electrical Installation Certificate reaches your inbox, and Building Control is notified of the work through Part P; between them, those are the papers a buyer's solicitor will want if you sell.
It can be either. Random tripping is often caused by a faulty appliance, moisture in an outside light or socket, or ageing insulation, but a worn RCD can also be to blame. We test to find the cause before recommending anything, and if your board turns out to be sound, we will say so.
