Rural homes with a lot asked of them

Homes in a parish like Laughton range from farmhouses and older cottages to post war and later houses, often spread well apart along the lanes. Many have grown as families did, with kitchens extended, lofts converted and outbuildings brought into use. The original fuse box rarely kept pace, and it is common to find extra switches, a separate cooker unit and circuits with no RCD protection at all.

We start by tracing every circuit, including any cable running to a barn, stable or workshop, and then plan a board with the right number of ways. Everything is tested before we leave, and you get a clear schedule showing what each circuit feeds.

  • Separate switches combined into one board
  • Barn and stable cables checked
  • Circuit schedule left with the board
  • Fixed price agreed before we start

Oil, LPG or a heat pump?

Many rural homes in this part of Wealden heat with oil, LPG or electricity rather than mains gas. As oil boilers age, more owners look at air source heat pumps, which run on electricity and need a dedicated circuit with the correct protection. A full fuse box, or one without RCD protection, is often the first obstacle a heat pump installer points out.

If a heat pump is on your list, mention it when you send photos. We will size the board with ways for the heat pump, its controls and any immersion backup, check your main fuse and earthing, and explain whether UK Power Networks needs to be told about the extra load. Type 2 surge protection is included.

Only if the board has a spare way with suitable protection and the rest of the installation is in good order, which is rare with older fuse boxes. Heat pump installers generally want an RCD or RCBO protected circuit and a sound earth. We can replace the board beforehand so the heat pump connects to a way that is ready for it.

The boiler only needs a small fused supply, but its controls, pumps and any immersion heater all depend on the board. We test those circuits with everything else and label the boiler supply clearly, so whoever services it can isolate it safely. If you later switch to a heat pump, a spare way can be left ready.

Not at all. Everything we need comes with us on the day, the distance adds nothing to the price, and all we ask for is access to the board and meter. If your meter is in a separate building or a box by the road, include a photo of it with your quote request so we can plan any cable work properly.
