Consumer Unit & Distribution Board Upgrades
The board is the heart of any installation, and an old one is the weak point we find most often. A modern board cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, which protects people from a shock and the building from an electrical fire.
We test every circuit before the changeover, so hidden faults are found and priced honestly up front rather than sprung on you halfway through. Then we fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, label every way clearly and hand over the certificate. Homes are normally done in a day, and on a working site we plan the shutdown around your quietest window.
What's included
Every circuit tested first
The existing installation is inspected and tested before the swap, so nothing unexpected appears on the invoice.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole building.
Surge protection built in
Televisions, computers, tills and plant protected from damaging power spikes as standard.
Labelled and certified
A clearly labelled board, a full certificate and the Building Control notification taken care of.
Fuse boxes questions, answered
How much does a new fuse box cost?
A new fuse board for a typical Birmingham home is usually around £500 to £1,000 fitted and tested. These are typical UK ranges, not our price list. We always give you one fixed price in writing before we start.
How long will the power be off?
A few hours in the middle of the day for a typical home. On a commercial site we plan the isolation around your quiet period, so downtime stays as short as possible.
Why does my new board trip when the old one never did?
Modern boards catch faults the old one quietly ignored. That is exactly the protection you are paying for. We test every circuit at changeover, so anything the new board flags is found and fixed properly.
Does a fuse box change need notifying?
Yes, it is notifiable work. We are NICEIC Approved, so we register it for you and the cost is already in the price.
