Consumer unit upgrades, done in a day
If your fuse board has rewireable fuses, a wooden back or no RCD protection, it is time to replace it. Most upgrades are finished in a day, with the power back on before we leave.

We fit metal consumer units with an RCBO on each circuit, so a fault on one circuit only switches off that circuit rather than half the house. We also fit surge protection, which the current wiring regulations call for in most homes.
Before the new board goes in, we test every circuit. If we find a fault that would stop the new board working safely, we show you, explain it and price the repair before going further. Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable under Part P, so we register it and you receive a Building Regulations certificate.

One fault no longer switches off half the house.
Fitted as standard, as the wiring regulations require.
Before and after, with the results on your certificate.
Every way named so you know what each switch does.
We register the work and you receive the certificate by post.
Most upgrades take six to eight hours.

A 1970s fuse board replaced in a day
A fuse board with rewireable fuses in a Leverstock Green semi was replaced with a twelve-way metal consumer unit with RCBOs and surge protection. Two faulty sockets were found during testing and repaired the same day.

How do I know if my fuse board needs replacing?
If it has rewireable fuses, a wooden or plastic case, or no RCDs, we recommend replacing it. We can check it at a short visit and tell you honestly.
Will I be without power all day?
Only while the new board is connected and tested, usually most of the working day. We switch the fridge and freezer back on as soon as we can.
