What changes the price of fuse board replacement
A fuse box replacement from £650 is the starting price for swapping an old board or consumer unit in a typical house. A minor works certificate starts from £95 when that paperwork is needed for the board change.
- These figures are starting prices, not a set charge for every house.
- A larger consumer unit, extra circuits or work beyond the board itself sits outside the £650 starting price.
- The £95 starting price for a minor works certificate covers the certificate for the board change, not other jobs in the house.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

Book NowHow much does fuse board replacement cost in Basingstoke?
JD Electricals charges £650 — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.
How much does a fuse board replacement cost?
A fuse box replacement starts from £650 for a typical domestic consumer unit upgrade. The final figure depends on the size of the board and how many circuits land on it.
Do I need a certificate after a consumer unit upgrade?
Yes. A minor works certificate starts from £95 and records the board change. We issue it at the end of the visit.
Will I be without power all day?
The supply is off while the old unit comes out and the new one goes in. We restore power once the circuits are landed and tested, usually within the same booked visit.
Can you replace a fuse board in a flat or a rented house?
Yes. We change boards in owner occupied houses, flats and rental stock across Basingstoke, Chineham, Oakley, Hook, Fleet and Tadley. The landlord or owner books the visit.
