Upgrading Consumer Unit

A modern consumer unit is important for keeping your electrics safe.
 If your fuse box is old or keeps tripping, we can fit a new one with proper RCD and RCBO protection.
 Every upgrade includes a full safety check and clear labelling, so you know exactly what’s connected.

We only fit reliable branded units that meet UK wiring standards.
 Once the job’s done, we test everything and hand over the right certification for your records.

Partial & Full Rewiring

Old or damaged wiring can cause power cuts and safety problems.
 If your electrics are showing signs of wear, we can rewire part of the property or start fresh with a full rewire.

We remove old cables, fit new ones neatly, and test every circuit before switching the power back on.
 All work is certified and carried out to current UK standards.

FAQs

How do I know if my consumer unit needs replacing?
If your consumer unit still has rewirable fuses or trips often, it’s usually a sign that it can’t handle modern power use. Upgrading to a new board improves safety, reliability, and protection against electrical faults.
Can you upgrade my consumer unit in one visit?
Yes. Most consumer unit upgrades are completed the same day, depending on your wiring condition and circuit layout. We test everything before finishing, so your electrics are safe and ready to use right away.
Do you provide a safety certificate after the job?
Yes, every upgrade comes with a full Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC). This document confirms that your consumer unit meets the latest UK wiring regulations and has been tested properly.
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
An average home upgrade takes about 3–5 hours, but larger or older systems may take longer. We’ll always explain the process, timing, and any power downtime before starting the work.
Are your electricians qualified and insured?
Yes, all our electricians are City & Guilds qualified, DBS checked, and fully insured, and we follow UK safety standards so you can be confident the work is done safely and professionally.
