Scattered homes, individual supplies
Spread-out homes, one-off boards
Walstead is small, with homes spread out rather than lined up along a street, so there is no single house type to describe. In a rural spot like this you find older country properties beside later houses, often with garages, workshops or other outbuildings running from the same supply. Each has been wired and updated on its own timetable, so we treat every board as a one-off.
We quote from photos showing the incoming supply, the meter and the consumer unit, plus any earth rod or earth cable that is visible. That shows us how the property is earthed and whether outbuildings are fed from the main board, so the fixed price covers everything.
- Earthing type checked from photos
- Outbuilding feeds included in quote

Poles, wires and earth rods
Your own earth, not the network's
Away from town streets, homes like those around Walstead are often fed by overhead lines on poles rather than underground cables. Plenty of them use TT earthing, in which the house takes its earth from its own buried rod instead of from UK Power Networks. That makes the RCD protection on your board, and the condition of the rod, far more important.
On a TT supply we test the earth electrode's resistance and check the connection at the rod as part of any board change. If the reading is too high or the clamp is corroded, we tell you and explain the fix before the new board goes live. On overhead supplies, the Type 2 surge device that comes on every board helps too.
- Earth rod resistance measured
- Rod and clamp condition checked
- RCD protection suited to TT
- Surge protection included

Walstead questions
Asked in Walstead
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look near your meter for a green and yellow earth cable. If it leads into the ground or outside to a rod, rather than clamping onto the supply cable or connecting at the main fuse housing, the property is probably TT. Include a photo of it when you text us and we will confirm, as it affects the protection we fit.
Not in itself, but the cable feeding them must be the right size and properly protected, and the earthing arrangement for a separate building needs checking. Testing the sub-main is included in the work and, if a small board is needed at the far end, we include it in the price before you book.
Damp getting into an outside light, socket or the cable to an outbuilding is a common cause. On a TT supply the RCD is your main protection against shock, so it must stay in service rather than being bypassed. We trace the leaking circuit during testing, and with an RCBO on each circuit, a damp garden light only switches itself off.
