When a board needs replacing
Old rewireable fuses, the kind mended with fuse wire, instead of trip switches. No RCD, the safety switch that cuts the power if electricity leaks somewhere it shouldn't. An EICR that's failed because of the board. Or a board that's full and can't take another circuit for an extension or a new shower. Any one of those is a reason to look at a new consumer unit.

What's involved
We turn the power off at the supply, take the old board out and fit the new one with its own safety switch (an RCBO) for each circuit. Every circuit is labelled and tested before the power goes back on. Because each circuit has its own protection, a fault on one no longer knocks the power off everywhere else. Most homes are without power for part of a day.
“The fuse box blew, I had no power at all, rang George in the morning and he came round in an hour and managed to get the sockets and living room live, then he came round the next morning and in limited space fitted a new fuse box set-up. It is a top job, well tidy and no mess. Very professional and personable at the same time. Highly recommended!”
Certified and signed off
A new consumer unit has to be reported to building control. We're NAPIT registered, so we do that ourselves and you get the electrical installation certificate at the end, with no separate inspection to arrange.
