Farmhouses and cottages

Older country homes with outbuildings

Housing in Poling is largely older cottages and farmhouses, with some newer homes among them. Many have been extended over the generations, and the electrics often include a supply out to a barn, workshop or stable, sometimes run as an overhead or buried cable that nobody has tested in years. Those outbuilding circuits matter as much as the board in the house.

We test any outbuilding supply as part of the board change, checking the cable, its protection and the earthing at the far end. Where an outbuilding needs its own small board, we explain why. A modest cottage can often manage with six ways of dual RCD protection at £425, but a farmhouse with several outbuildings is usually better off with RCBOs.

  • Barn and workshop supplies tested
  • Outbuilding boards checked
  • Extended farmhouses re-protected
  • RCBO boards from £625

Rural supplies need a different earth

Out in the countryside, many homes are fed by overhead lines on poles, and the network may not provide an earth at all. The house then relies on an earth rod sunk into the ground close by, which is known as a TT arrangement. RCD protection is essential on these supplies, because without it a fault may not draw enough current to operate a fuse or breaker.

Whenever we change a board on a TT supply, we measure how well the rod is performing, inspect it and its clamp, and lay out the new board to suit, usually with a time delayed main RCD or RCBOs on every circuit. If there is no rod, or the reading is poor, you hear about it before any work begins.

  • Earth rod tested on every visit
  • Boards arranged for TT supplies
  • Time delayed main RCD where needed
  • Supply entry checked

Follow the thick earth cable from your board. Where it ends at the supplier's sealed equipment by the meter, the network gives you an earth. Where it goes out through the wall to a rod in the garden, sometimes under a small inspection cover, the supply is probably TT. A photo of the meter position lets us confirm it before quoting.

Yes. That board is tested alongside the house, and you get a straight answer on whether it is safe. If the outbuilding board is old or unsuitable, we can price a replacement from your photos. The cable between the house and the outbuilding also gets checked, since buried and overhead runs on rural properties can deteriorate without anyone noticing.

Usually, yes. A heat pump needs a dedicated circuit and sometimes more capacity than an older board can offer. Fitting the new board first, with ways set aside for the heat pump and its controls, saves a second visit later. Mention it when you send photos and we will size the board accordingly.
