Older country homes
Thick walls, beams and wiring of every age
Older country homes were not built with electricity in mind, so where a Lickfold property has some age to it, the wiring has usually been threaded in wherever it would fit: along beams, through thick walls and up behind panelling. Successive owners add to it, and the result can be one board feeding cable types of very different ages.
We look at what each circuit is wired in before we price the job. Old rubber insulated or early cable that fails insulation testing is something we would rather find and explain at the quote stage, or first thing on the day, than leave hidden behind a shiny new board.
- Mixed cable types identified
- Insulation resistance tested
- Findings explained before work continues
- New board sited to suit the house

Listed and period buildings
Board changes in listed or period homes
If your home is listed, the protection covers the building inside as well as out. Replacing a consumer unit in the same position, using the existing cable routes, usually involves no alteration to historic fabric. Moving the board, chasing walls or running new cables through old timbers is different, and may need consent from the planning authority before work starts.
We talk through the options at the quote stage so you can check with them first if needed. Where cables must be added, we favour surface clips, existing voids and discreet routes over cutting into old plaster or beams, and we agree each route with you.
- Same position wherever possible
- No chasing of old plaster without agreement
- Surface routes discussed in advance
- Guidance on when to seek consent

Lickfold questions
Asked in Lickfold
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Usually not for a straight swap in the same place using existing cables, as the historic fabric is not being altered. Moving the board or running new cables through walls and timbers can be different. If your home is listed, we recommend a quick check with the planning authority, and we can describe the proposed work so you know exactly what to ask.
For a board change on its own, rarely. The new consumer unit connects to the circuits already there. Extra work only comes into it if a circuit has to be extended, the board moves, or a fault means a cable must be replaced, and in each case we agree the route and the price with you first.
Often, yes, provided it passes insulation resistance testing. Older cables can have hidden faults that cause an RCD to trip, which is the RCD doing its job. We test before switching anything over and tell you exactly which circuits are sound and which need work, with fixed prices for any repairs.
