Is it time?
Signs you may need a new consumer unit
- An old-style fuse box with rewireable fuses or a mix of fuses and breakers
- Circuits that trip frequently, or a main switch that will not stay on
- No RCD protection on your circuits, which a modern consumer unit normally provides
- Scorch marks, a burning smell, buzzing or a warm consumer unit
- Cracked, damaged or loose-fitting parts on the fuse box
- A planned rewire, extension, new kitchen or EV charger that adds load to the board
Safety: if you notice a burning smell or see sparks, switch off at the main switch if it is safe to do so and call us on 07449 088300.

Tripping circuits
If one circuit keeps tripping, the cause may be an appliance, a fault in the wiring or the protective device itself. We test to find which, rather than simply swapping parts.
Damaged or failing parts
A cracked cover, a loose device or heat damage at the board needs attention. We can often repair or replace the affected part.
Partial upgrades
Sometimes only part of the board needs improving, for example adding protection to a circuit. We tell you when a partial upgrade makes sense and when a full replacement is the better choice.

Joe was great, he was recommended to us by a plumber we’d used previously. Really easy to deal with, quick communication, really reliable and did a great job fitting a few mains fire alarms and some extractor fans! Highly recommend!!
Joe recently completed some superb lighting to our garden. He coordinated with garden designers to install lighting into a new decking and then added wonderful floodlights to illuminate trees and plant areas in the garden. The result is fantastic. Joe was highly professional throughout, advised on what was or was not required, kept the work within our budget and finished everything off. We will definitely continue to use Joe on future projects - we can 100% recommend him for any electrical work, totally first class .

FAQs
Consumer unit and fuse box questions
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
It depends on the property, the number of circuits and the condition of the existing wiring. We can give you an idea when we hear about your home, and confirm it when we quote.
Will I lose power while it is done?
Yes, the power has to be off at the board while the old unit is removed and the new one connected and tested. We agree the timing with you beforehand so you can plan around it.
Do I need a rewire as well?
Not necessarily. Testing your existing circuits shows whether the wiring is fit to be connected to a new consumer unit. If it is not, we explain what needs doing and why, and you can choose how to proceed.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. You receive an electrical certificate on completion, and the work is notified to Building Regulations through NAPIT.
Can landlords use this service?
Yes. Landlords often need a new consumer unit following an unsatisfactory EICR, or as part of keeping a rental property safe. See our EICR page for more on landlord reports.
