Fuse board and consumer unit replacement.

Old boards and rewireable fuse boxes swapped for a modern consumer unit with RCBOs and surge protection. Usually a single day, power back on the same evening.

Who this is for. Anyone with a board that has failed an EICR, has no RCD protection, or still has fuse wire in it.

Three reasons boards get replaced

It failed an EICR. It has no RCD protection, which means a fault can hurt someone rather than trip. Or it is a rewireable board with fuse wire in it, which tells you the installation has not been touched in decades.

What goes in is a modern consumer unit with RCBOs, so a fault on one circuit trips only that circuit rather than half the house at two in the morning, plus surge protection where it makes sense.

The thing people are not told

The earthing and bonding has to be right first.

If it is not up to standard, that gets sorted as part of the job. It is not an upsell, it is the reason the new board can protect you at all. We check it before quoting, so the number does not move on the day.

How it works

  1. We check the supply and the earthing

    Before quoting, not after. That is what stops the price changing.

  2. Power off in the morning

    We agree the day with you and work around anything critical.

  3. Old board out, new board in

    Every circuit tested, labelled and recorded as we go.

  4. Certified and notified

    Power back on the same evening. Building control notified by us, certificate to you.

Questions we get asked

How long will I be without power?

Most of the working day, back on by the evening. If you need a freezer or a home office kept running, tell us when you book and we will plan around it.

Do I have to have surge protection?

Not on every job. It is cheap at the point of installation and expensive to add later, so we will tell you whether it is worth it for your property rather than fitting it by default.

Do you notify building control?

Yes. A consumer unit replacement is notifiable under Part P and we register it as an NICEIC approved contractor. You do nothing.

Can you do it if my earthing is old?

Yes, and it usually needs bringing up to standard at the same time. We look at that before quoting so it is in the price.

I found the electrician, Brady Lewis, earlier this year, and would highly recommend him. He has always demonstrated that he is consistently punctual, personable, trustworthy, efficient, fair, and has excellent skills in his trade. Completed perfectly, on time, as promised, and at a fair price.
