Older cottages and later houses
Old walls, older wiring, newer extensions
Offham's homes are a mix of older cottages and later houses. In the oldest of them, wiring has often been added piece by piece, with cables of different ages hidden behind plaster, under floors and in roof spaces. The board at the centre of it all may be decades old, even where the kitchen and bathroom have been redone recently.
We test each circuit before and after the change, so you learn the real condition of the cables, not just the board. Where the house is a typical cottage, a dual RCD board, beginning at £425, is a sound choice. Where hidden older cable is a worry, a board with arc fault protection adds a further layer.

Arc fault detection
Catching the faults a fuse would miss
In an older cottage, the cable most likely to fail is the one you cannot see: a joint buried in plaster, a connection in a roof space, or a flex crushed behind furniture. A loose or damaged connection can arc and overheat long before it draws enough current to trip a breaker. Arc fault detection devices, known as AFDDs, are designed to spot exactly that and switch off.
An RCBO and AFDD board covers every circuit against shock, overload and arcing, with one device per circuit. Prices are £1,095 with 10 ways and £1,295 with 14. It is not essential in every house, so we will say plainly whether we think your Offham home would benefit.
- 10 way RCBO and AFDD at £1,095
- 14 way version at £1,295
- Arcing faults caught early

Offham questions
Asked in Offham
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It depends on the wiring. Where cables are old, hidden in timber or partly unknown, arc fault protection adds real value and we would recommend it. In a recently rewired cottage with clear cable routes, full RCBO protection, starting at £625, may be all you need. We explain which we would choose and why.
Occasionally. Very old cable, such as rubber insulated wiring, can test so badly that connecting it to a modern board is not sensible. If that happens we explain what we found and what a partial or full rewire would involve. More often, an older cottage simply needs one or two circuits put right, priced before we do them.
Often, yes. Homes with off peak heating sometimes have two boards and a timeswitch, added at different times. Depending on your meter and tariff, the heating circuits can be brought onto the new board with suitable switching, or the second board replaced alongside the main one. We look at your photos and suggest the simplest safe option.
