Breadsall Hilltop sits on the high ground between Chaddesden, Oakwood and Breadsall, a largely residential area of post-war houses with newer homes added on its northern edge. Homes of that generation often still have an early fuse board and a modest number of sockets, which starts to show when families add home offices, bigger kitchens and electric cars. We upgrade boards, add circuits where they are needed and fit chargers, testing and certifying each installation.

Homes in Breadsall Hilltop
Breadsall Hilltop is a residential part of the city on the high ground between Chaddesden, Oakwood and Breadsall village, and it is a separate place from the village itself. We don't guess at the wiring in a house here until we have seen the board. A row of white fuse carriers usually means an early installation with no RCD at all. A plastic board with switches but only one RCD tends to date from the 1990s or 2000s. A metal board with a switch for each circuit is recent and likely to be in good shape.

Asked in Breadsall Hilltop
How can I tell how old the board is in my Breadsall Hilltop house?
Open the cover and look. White pull-out fuse carriers are the oldest type. Switches with one large RCD in the middle are from roughly the 1990s onwards. A metal box with a test button on every switch is newer still. Send us a photo and we'll tell you what you are looking at.
We are adding a downstairs toilet in our Breadsall Hilltop house. What electrics does it need?
Usually a light, an extractor fan and sometimes a heated towel rail. All of it needs RCD protection, and the fan has to be wired so it keeps running briefly after the light goes off. We fit the first-fix cables before the plasterer arrives and finish once the room is tiled.
