Walderton's cottages
Thick walls, timber floors and wiring added over generations
Walderton is mostly a village of older cottages and houses, with a few later homes among them. Buildings like these were wired long after they were built, so cables run under timber floors, through roof spaces and behind boxed in corners. Over the decades sockets get added and kitchens refitted, and the fuse box ends up protecting far more than it was ever chosen for.
A new consumer unit brings RCD protection to every circuit, with a Type 2 surge protector fitted as standard. In a typical cottage, dual RCD protection costs from £425 and RCBOs on every circuit from £625, with the whole property inspected and tested within that price.

Arcing in hidden places
Extra fire protection for homes with old timbers
An arc fault is a small, sustained spark inside a loose terminal or a damaged cable. It can heat the material around it without ever drawing enough current to blow a fuse or trip an RCD. In older homes with timber floors, joists and roof structures, that kind of hidden fault is a real concern, especially where wiring has been extended and joined over the years.
An arc fault detection device, or AFDD, watches each circuit for the electrical signature of arcing and cuts the supply when it finds it. A 10 way board combining RCBOs and AFDDs costs from £1,095. Nobody has to have one, and you will get a straight answer from us on whether your cottage would gain from it.

Walderton questions
Asked in Walderton
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It depends on the house. Even the standard RCBO board, priced from £625, guards every circuit against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage. AFDDs add detection of arcing, which those devices cannot see. For an older cottage with timber floors and wiring of mixed ages, many owners feel the extra fire protection is worth it. We give you both prices and let you choose.
Usually a little, because a modern board holds RCDs, a surge protector and spare ways. We judge the size from your photos and confirm it before the day. If the existing spot really cannot take it, moving the board costs an extra £250 when done with a replacement, and we only suggest that where it is needed.
Not usually. Most boards are fitted in 4 to 6 hours, including testing every circuit in the property. If testing turns up a fault that needs more work, we explain it before going any further and agree any extra with you first. Expect the certificate in your email within 48 hours of the job.
