Old farmhouses and cottages
Older buildings that need a lighter touch
A rural parish like Rye Foreign is made up of farmhouses, cottages and the odd converted building rather than estates. Older houses in this part of Sussex were often built with timber frames, thick walls or both, and their wiring has usually been threaded through at different times, sometimes in ways that are hard to follow.
We plan cable routes to disturb as little as possible, reuse sensible existing paths and avoid chasing old walls unless there is no alternative. The new board usually goes where the old one was. If the house is listed, we flag anything that might need consent before work starts.
- Minimal disturbance to old fabric
- Existing cable routes reused
- Board kept in its current spot
- Whole installation tested

Arc fault protection for older homes
Arc faults happen when a cable is damaged, a connection works loose or insulation breaks down with age, and they can produce enough heat to start a fire inside a wall or roof space. In an older house with timber in its structure and wiring added in stages over many decades, that is a risk worth reducing.
Arc fault detection on every circuit comes with our RCBO and AFDD boards, which cost £1,095 with 10 ways or £1,295 with 14. Current wiring regulations recommend AFDDs for socket circuits in homes, and they make particular sense where timber forms part of the building. We explain the options plainly and never push.
- AFDD boards from £1,095
- Arcing detected and disconnected
- Suited to timber framed houses
- Options explained without pressure

Rye Foreign questions
Asked in Rye Foreign
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Rarely for a straight board change, because the new unit connects to the circuits already there. If extra cabling is needed, we look for existing routes, voids and discreet surface options first, and agree anything visible with you before we start. In a listed house we flag anything that could need consent.
It detects the electrical signature of arcing, the sparking you get from a damaged cable or a loose terminal, and switches the circuit off before it can overheat the material around it. An RCD cannot see this kind of fault, and neither can an ordinary breaker until it turns into a short circuit or overload.
Usually, yes. Every circuit is tested during the job, and very old cable sometimes shows low insulation readings that would make a modern RCD trip. If that happens we explain what we found, keep you safe and powered where possible, and agree any repair separately before going further.
