Fitting a modern board into an old house
Older houses in Thakeham, with thick walls, timber floors and tight cupboards, are rarely straightforward to work in. Their wiring has often been updated in stages over decades, so the fuse box may feed a mix of modern cable and much older runs. We plan the job from your photos, so we arrive knowing where the board sits and how the cables reach it.
Newer homes in the parish are usually simpler, but their first consumer units are reaching an age where a heat pump, a charger or a new kitchen exposes their limits. Whatever the age of the house, the price is fixed before we start and every circuit is tested on the day.
- Surface cable runs kept tidy
- Floors and finishes protected
- Mixed wiring tested in full
- Price fixed before work starts

Respecting historic fabric
Some houses around Thakeham are old enough to be listed. Replacing a board in the same position rarely affects the character of a building, but cutting new cable routes into historic walls, or fixing a large enclosure to old panelling, could. Horsham District Council's conservation officers are the people to ask if you are unsure.
In practice we reuse existing cable routes wherever possible, keep the board where the old one was if that works, and use neat surface trunking or existing voids rather than cutting into old plaster. If a new route is unavoidable, we discuss it with you first so you can check before any work starts.
- Existing cable routes reused
- No chasing without your agreement
- Board kept in place where possible
- Neat surface runs where needed

Thakeham questions
Asked in Thakeham
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Swapping a board in the same spot does not usually affect a building's character, so consent is not normally needed for that alone. New cable routes cut into historic walls are a different matter. If in doubt, ask Horsham District Council's conservation team before work starts. We describe exactly what we plan to do, so you have the details to hand.
Where there are existing voids, conduits or old cable routes, we reuse them. Where there are not, slim surface trunking that can be painted to match is usually kinder to old walls than cutting a chase. We agree the approach with you from photos before booking, so no decisions are rushed on the day.
Very little beyond the area around the board. We lay dust sheets, protect floors along our route and work from the board outwards. Expect the electricity to be off for most of the four to six hours that a typical change needs. At the end we show you the new board, explain the test results and leave the area as we found it.
