Nearly all new domestic electrical work will require RCD protection to comply with the current regulations.
Many older consumer units (commonly known as fuse boxes) won't have RCDs, and so will need upgrading (ie replacing) before any work is carried out.
RCDs are potentially life saving devices, so having them installed properly and in correct working order is crucial.
The best way of complying with the current regulations when having new electrical work done is to renew the consumer unit.
If your fuse box looks like this, chances are there is no RCD protection to your property, and is an indication of the age of the electrics is your home.

There are no set guidelines as to when a property should be rewired.
Just because your wiring's old, it doesn't mean it's unsafe.
Many factors can affect the wear and tear of your electrical installation, including the materials used and how your property has been used.
The NICEIC advise that a periodic inspection (sometimes referred to as an EICR) is carried out on domestic properties at least every 5 years.
The inspection will show whether the electrics in a property are safe, and if anything needs upgrading.
