The challenge
The house still ran on a single-phase supply with six circuits dating from the 1970s. Induction cooking, an EV charger and a heat pump could not coexist. The crawl space was persistently damp, which would have made underfloor heating pointless without intervention.
Technical execution
Supply upgraded to 3x25A with the grid operator, a new NEN 1010 consumer unit with 14 circuits and separate RCDs per function. The crawl space was sealed with a vapour-retarding membrane before the underfloor manifolds were set. The 18 m2 extension is carried on two structural steel beams.
We had quotes from four companies and none of them wanted to own the whole thing. Here one company signed for the entire chain.
