Consumer unit replacement services from JD Electricals

Consumer unit replacement in Brighton Hill

Brighton Hill was built in phases. Gershwin Road and Brighton Way boards are not the same era. The new unit matches the house that is actually on the plot.

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.

How much does a fuse board replacement cost in Brighton Hill?

A Gershwin Road or Brighton Way consumer unit starts at £650, including RCBO protection, testing and the certificate. A hall unit and a garage unit are two prices.

  • The £650 figure is one unit. Hall and garage together are two prices.
  • Bronze, Silver and Gold plans take five, ten or fifteen percent off labour and certificates against that starting price.

What happens on the day

The visit records the phase and whether a garage unit is also in play, then swaps the board that is actually there.

  1. 01

    Phase and cupboard first

    Hall or garage, dual RCD or later metal box, written down before the old unit comes off.

  2. 02

    The old board comes out

    The supply is isolated. Each circuit lands on its own RCBO. A second garage unit is listed if both need changing.

  3. 03

    Testing and paperwork

    Every circuit is tested. You keep the installation certificate for that unit.

Work that often sits with a new board

A Brighton Hill EICR from £150 can test circuits before the old dual RCD comes out. A later 7.4kW charger lands only when the new unit has a spare way.

Phased estate boards, named on the plot

James Dunn prices a Gershwin Road hall cupboard separately from a later Brighton Way garage unit. The £650 figure is one unit, in writing before isolation.

Fuse board questions in Brighton Hill

Questions about phases, garage boards, two units and the £650 starting price.

Why does the phase matter?+

Earlier phases used hall dual RCD boards. Later phases often used a garage board. The new unit matches the house that is there.

James Dunn

Can the garage board stay in the garage?+

Yes if the garage is dry and lockable. It is not moved into the hall as a default.

James Dunn

Do you change two boards in one visit?+

If both the hall and garage units need changing, they are listed as two units. The £650 figure is one unit.

Is this Oakley?+

No. Oakley is a village board visit. Brighton Hill is a phased estate.

Who does the swap?+

James Dunn of JD Electricals. The starting figure is £650 for one consumer unit.
