What sits under the stairs in Maynard's Green

Houses here span several generations, from older cottages to post-war and later family homes, and the consumer unit is rarely as new as the kitchen. In homes of these ages the usual suspects are plastic split load boards from the 1980s or 1990s, where a single RCD guards half the circuits, and the odd surviving fuse box with rewireable fuse wire. Both fall short of today's wiring regulations.

A new board places each circuit behind RCD or RCBO protection in a metal enclosure, adding Type 2 surge protection too. Expect £495 for dual RCD protection across 10 ways, or from £625 for full RCBO. We size the board with spare ways, so whoever wires the new kitchen or extension has somewhere to connect.

Kitchen refits and extensions start at the board

Adding circuits for an induction hob, an electric oven or a new extension is notifiable work under Part P, and the electrician doing it has to confirm the existing board and earthing can support it. An old fuse box, or a board with no free ways and no RCD on the relevant circuits, usually means the upgrade has to come first.

Doing the board early saves a second shutdown later. Tell us what the kitchen or extension will need when you send photos, and we will plan ways and ratings around it. The Electrical Installation Certificate reaches you within 48 hours, ready for your builder and for Building Control.

  • Induction hob loads allowed for
  • Ways reserved for the extension
  • Certificate for your builder

It is common. Any electrician adding a circuit must first confirm the board can protect it properly, which an old fuse box, or a board lacking RCD protection, usually cannot do. Replacing it first means the new kitchen circuits connect straight into a modern, tested board, and the paperwork covers the work for Building Control.

It depends on what the extension adds: a couple of lighting and socket circuits, perhaps an electric shower, underfloor heating or a car charger later on. Family houses with plans often suit a board of 10 to 12 ways, which costs £695 in full RCBO form. We size it from your photos and drawings rather than guessing.

Usually, yes. Cooking appliances normally run on their own radial circuit, and a modern board is rated well above typical household demand. What we check is the cable to the cooker point, the rating of its breaker and the size of the incoming supply fuse, so the new appliances are properly protected without nuisance tripping when everything is on.
