Development corporation houses
Terraces and semis from the 1950s
Much of Langley Green was built by the new town development corporation as rented family housing: terraces, semis and some flats, planned around greens and a neighbourhood centre. Over the decades many homes passed into private ownership. Depending on its history, a house may have had its board renewed in an upgrade before sale, or kept the same fuse box through several owners.
Either way, the board on the wall tells only part of the story. We check what it protects, how the house has been extended and whether the original circuits are still in use, and only then fix the price, starting at £425 for dual RCD protection over 6 ways or £575 for a high integrity board with 12.

What is behind the plaster
Is your Langley Green wiring original?
Houses wired in the early 1950s often used rubber insulated cable, before PVC became standard. Rubber insulation dries out and crumbles with age, especially where it runs warm, such as behind light fittings. Where it survives, a new RCD board can trip as soon as it is switched on, because the RCD detects leakage the old fuse box never noticed.
Many houses of this age have been rewired since, but we never assume. Before fitting, we check the cable types at the board and at accessories and test the insulation on every circuit. If rubber cable is still in use, we show you where and talk through the options before any money is spent.
- Cable types identified
- Insulation tested per circuit
- Rubber wiring flagged early
- No surprise trips after fitting

Langley Green questions
Asked in Langley Green
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Because it is doing its job. An RCD switches off when current leaks to earth, and old wiring, a damp socket or a faulty appliance can leak enough to trigger it. A fuse box has no way of sensing this. We test before and after fitting, so leakage is traced and dealt with rather than left to cause nuisance tripping.
Without removing any covers, look at the cables where they enter the fuse box. Old rubber cable is often black, sometimes with a fabric braid, and can look cracked or perished, while later PVC cable is smooth grey or white. Photograph them for us and we will describe what we can see.
Yes, briefly. Testing the whole property means checking sockets, lights and fixed appliances around the house, not just at the board. We work tidily, move furniture only where access needs it, and tell you which rooms we will be in so you can plan your day around the visit.
