A 1930s Semi Off Aldermans Hill — The Original Wylex Board
Bought from a long-term resident, rewireable fuses still in place, no RCD anywhere. Here’s what we found and how we fixed it.
The owners had bought a 1930s semi just off Aldermans Hill from a long-term resident. The consumer unit was the original Wylex board with rewireable fuses — the kind where you’ve got a strip of fuse wire to replace if something trips.
Nothing immediately dangerous, but once we lifted a few floorboards, the picture got worse.
We swapped the board for a fully RCBO-protected dual-RCD unit — every circuit individually protected.
Then we traced and corrected the borrowed neutral, brought everything up to current 18th Edition spec, and issued a clean certificate the same afternoon.
- Wylex board → fully RCBO-protected unit
- Main bonding to gas & water brought up to current regs
- Borrowed neutral traced and corrected
- Buried junction box exposed and made safe
- Full Electrical Installation Certificate issued same day
That job is fairly typical of what I see week to week in Palmers Green. The housing stock here is overwhelmingly interwar, and a huge proportion of homes are still running on installs that haven’t been properly looked at since the 1970s or 80s.

What really impressed me was that he managed to fit me into his already tight schedule and came out on a Sunday to do the installation. We had a break-in a couple of days ago, so I needed the security cameras urgently and he really helped by making it happen so quickly.
The installation was very neat and professional, he explained how everything works and made sure the cameras covered all the important areas around the house.

Common Electrical Issues in Palmers Green Homes
Palmers Green N13 sits in the London Borough of Enfield, and it isn't one type of house. The streets running off Green Lanes have Edwardian terraces from before the First World War; cut through to Aldermans Hill, Fox Lane or Broomfield Avenue and it's almost entirely 1930s semis. After fifteen years working across N13, I see the same patterns again and again.
1930s Semis — The Bulk of the Housing Stock
If you live in Palmers Green, there's a good chance your house is a 1930s semi. Solid properties — but the original installs were never designed for the way we use power today.
- Old Wylex or MEM fuse boxes with rewireable fuses — pre-date modern circuit protection entirely.
- No RCD protection — anything before 2008 is unlikely to have it.
- No main bonding to gas and water — a Code C2 on an EICR every time.
- Borrowed neutrals between circuits — common where extensions have been added over the decades.
- Buried or DIY junction boxes — almost every Palmers Green semi I work on has at least one mystery joint under the floorboards.
Edwardian and Victorian Terraces
The older streets running off Green Lanes — and pockets towards Bowes Park — have plenty of pre-1920s terraced housing. The two issues I see most often:
- Original consumer units never upgraded — the install hasn't been touched since the property was first wired, with extra sockets added piecemeal over the decades.
- Two-core lighting circuits with no earth — meaning you can't safely fit metal pendants, metal switches, or modern downlights without rewiring the lighting circuits first.
Newer Builds and Flats
The newer builds and converted flats — particularly around Green Lanes and the Triangle — tend to have one recurring issue:
- Undersized consumer units — builders fit 6-way boards because they're cheap, but once you add an electric shower, an induction hob, an EV charger and a few smart-home circuits, you're out of ways within a year.
While the Board Is Off — Earthing and Bonding
When we upgrade a consumer unit in a Palmers Green home, nine times out of ten we'll recommend bringing the earthing and main bonding up to current regs at the same time. The board's already off, the cables are accessible, and the work costs roughly the same as a separate visit later.
