Period homes near the church
Electrics threaded through older fabric
Older houses were never designed around wiring. Electricity arrived later, cables were routed wherever they could go, and the board was put near where the supply came in, which might be a cellar, a high shelf, a kitchen cupboard or the back of a porch. In period homes like those in Old Heathfield, that legacy can still shape the installation today.
We work around beams, lath and plaster and uneven walls with care, using existing routes wherever possible rather than cutting new chases. The new consumer unit sits in a metal enclosure, which is now the rule for domestic boards, and every circuit is tested so you know what the old wiring is doing.

Moving the board
A better place for the consumer unit
If your board is in a cupboard you can barely reach, above head height or somewhere hard to find in a power cut, a board change is the natural time to move it. Relocating it while fitting the new unit costs an extra £250, and moving an existing board on its own is £395.
We look at where the meter is, how the circuits run and what disruption a move would cause, then suggest a position that is easy to reach and safe. Sometimes the best answer in an older house is to leave the board where it is, and we will say so.
- Relocation with a new board, add £250
- Standalone relocation £395
- Easier to reach in a power cut
- Honest advice if it should stay

Old Heathfield questions
Asked in Old Heathfield
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes, within limits. The tails from the meter to the board should be short and well protected, so a new position is usually within a few metres of the meter. Longer runs are possible but need extra protection at the meter end. We check the route from your photos and on site, then explain the options and cost before anything is moved.
As little as possible. Most board changes need no work beyond the board itself. Moving a board may mean extending circuits, and in an older house we prefer existing voids, neat surface trunking or routes a previous electrician already used. Where some making good is unavoidable, we tell you in advance.
Since 2016 the wiring regulations have required consumer units in homes to be made of non-combustible material, normally steel. If a fault ever caused overheating at the board, a metal enclosure helps contain it. In an older house with timber in the walls and floors close to the board, that is a sensible extra margin of safety.
