Rural cottages and houses
Older boards, newer demands
In a hamlet this small there is no typical estate house, just a few homes of different ages, most of them standing on their own. Whatever the age of the house, the board is often the oldest part of the electrics still in daily use, and it is now asked to cope with induction hobs, electric showers and home offices it was never designed for.
We look at the loads you run today and the ones you are planning, then size the board to match. Most homes end up with a dual RCD board at £425 upwards, or full RCBO protection at £625 upwards, and Type 2 surge protection is standard on every option.

- Electric shower circuits checked

Specified for Upper NorwoodHeating without mains gas
Heating without mains gas
Storage heaters, off-peak meters and two boards
Homes away from the gas network rely on oil, bottled gas or electricity for heat, and electric storage heaters are still common in rural cottages. Those usually run from an off-peak supply, which often means a dual rate meter, a time switch or a separate small board just for the heaters, sitting beside the main fuse box.
When we replace the main board we trace the off-peak wiring too and make sure it is protected and labelled. Sometimes the two can be combined into one tidier arrangement; sometimes they need to stay separate because of how the meter is wired. We explain which, and why, before work starts.
- Off-peak circuits traced
- Heater board checked or combined
- Dual rate meter wiring respected
- Everything labelled clearly

Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. Before anything is disconnected we pick out the off-peak circuits, then reconnect them to the correct side of the meter and test them with everything else in the house. If the heater supply is on its own old board, we look at whether to replace that at the same time and include it in the quote.
Possibly. A loose connection at the board, an undersized cable or a heavily loaded supply can all cause it. We test the shower circuit when we change the board and check the cable size against the shower's rating. If the shower needs a bigger cable, we tell you before going ahead.
No. This one is a West Sussex hamlet in East Lavington parish, with a GU28 postcode and Chichester District Council as its council. The London district of the same name is a different place altogether. We cover the Sussex one, at the same fixed prices as everywhere else in the county.
