Decades of new houses
Southwater's estates and the boards they were built with
Much of Southwater was built from the late twentieth century onwards, as estates spread out from the older village, with Southwater Country Park on land once worked for brick clay. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s were usually fitted with a split load board, a step forward at the time, but one that protects only some circuits with an RCD.
On a split load board the lighting circuits are often left without RCD protection, and there is no surge protection at all. A dual RCD board, priced from £425, brings every circuit under protection, and for £625 upwards a full RCBO board stops one fault tripping half the house.
- Split load boards upgraded
- Lighting circuits RCD protected
- Dual RCD from £425
- RCBO boards from £625

Extended and converted
Loft conversions, extensions and an overloaded board
Estate homes like many of Southwater's have often been extended, had the loft converted or gained a garden office since they were built. Each project adds circuits, and on an original split load board those are often squeezed in wherever a way was free, sometimes without full RCD protection, sometimes doubled up on a single breaker.
Before starting another project, it is worth replacing the board with one sized for the house as it is now, plus spare ways for what comes next. Ten ways of dual RCD protection cost £495 and a high integrity board with 12 ways costs £575, each with every circuit tested and labelled.
- Added circuits given their own way
- Doubled up breakers separated
- High integrity 12 way £575

Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not automatically, but most original boards from the 1980s and 1990s lack RCD protection on some circuits, have no surge protection and are housed in plastic. If you are planning building work, selling, or simply want peace of mind, a replacement brings the whole house up to date. Send a photo and we will be straight with you.
Ideally, yes. Your loft electrician will need somewhere suitable to connect the new circuits, and an old split load board may have no spare RCD protected ways. Changing the board first, with spare capacity, saves the project being held up, and our full test tells you the existing circuits are sound before new ones go in.
Yes. As part of every board change we identify each circuit, test it and label the new board clearly, so you know which breaker controls the kitchen, the upstairs sockets or the garden office. The circuit details are also listed on the certificate we email within 48 hours.
