Farmhouses, cottages and fuse wire

In a hamlet the size of South Ambersham, homes tend to be spread out, and rural houses like these have often been altered piecemeal over the years. That can leave an old board with rewirable fuses or early cartridge fuses and no RCD protection at all, so a damaged cable or faulty appliance can give someone a shock without anything switching off.

Replacing the board brings every circuit under RCD protection and swaps fuse wire for breakers you simply reset. We test each circuit as we reconnect it, so any hidden fault is found and explained before we leave, rather than discovered later when something trips.

  • RCD cover for every circuit

When the house board also feeds the yard

Rural properties often power more than the house. A workshop, stable block, garage or converted barn may be fed by a cable run from the main board, sometimes buried, sometimes clipped along a wall, and sometimes added long after the house was wired. These sub-main cables need to be the right size, properly protected and earthed in a way that suits the building they reach.

When we change your consumer unit we trace and test every outgoing supply to outbuildings, check the protective device on each and confirm how each building is earthed. If an outbuilding has its own small board, we inspect that too and tell you plainly if anything needs work.

  • Sub-main cables traced and tested
  • Outbuilding earthing confirmed
  • Correct breaker for each feed
  • Small garage boards inspected

Not always. A single circuit from the main board can be fine for lights and a socket or two. Where an outbuilding has several circuits, heaters or water heating, a small board of its own is usually better. We look at the cable size, its length and the earthing, then recommend whichever arrangement is safe and sensible.

Expect a typical board change to last 4 to 6 hours, with the supply switched off for most of it while we disconnect, fit and test. Each outbuilding supply gets tested too, so if you have several, keep the whole day free. We tell you in advance, so freezers and anything on a timer can be planned around.

It can be, and a dual RCD unit with 6 ways costs from £425. The drawback is that a fault on one circuit can switch off half the house, which matters if pumps, freezers or outbuildings share that side. Move up to full RCBO, from £625, and every circuit stands alone, so a fault stays on the circuit where it started.
