Fuse Board Upgrades

A fuse board upgrade replaces your old consumer unit with a modern one carrying RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit. In houses built before the 1990s it is usually the single best safety improvement you can make, and it is often what an EICR recommends first. The job normally takes most of a day and the installation is fully tested and certified.

Great service. Tim was quick to respond to my message and arrived on time. He resolved my electrical issues quickly and professionally and I appreciated the manner in which he communicated and engaged. A strong service minded electrician who is reliable, what more could I ask for.

No hesitation in making 5 star review. Great service from Tim. Two new consumer units fitted and full test. Expertly dealt with the old wiring issues to make good. Would I use again? Absolutely.

FAQ

Fuse Board Upgrades questions

Most fuse board replacements take the best part of a day. Your power is off for some of that, and we will tell you roughly when so you can plan around it.
Houses of that age cope fine until you add modern loads to them, and then the original board becomes the weak point. It is the most common single job we do in Orpington and around the older Sevenoaks streets.
Not automatically. We test the existing circuits before we quote so there are no surprises, and if something will not pass we tell you before the work starts, not halfway through.
