We serve Gosport from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
A fuse board swap requires a planned period of power isolation while the old unit is taken down, the new unit is mounted and the circuits are fully checked.
- Mains isolation and preparationOn arrival at the property, we confirm the layout of the current fuse board, trace the outgoing cables, and disconnect the mains supply safely so the existing enclosure can be dismounted.
- Mounting and connecting the new unitWe secure the new consumer unit to the wall, dress the existing circuit cables into the casing, and connect each supply cable to its individual protective breaker according to the planned schedule.
- Circuit testing and labellingOnce the wiring is terminated, we test the circuits to verify correct operation, re-energise the installation, label each switch legibly, and complete the relevant electrical paperwork.

“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.”

WhatsAppWhat is covered in the price of a fuse board replacement?
The price covers the safe disconnection and removal of the old unit, the supply and mounting of a modern consumer unit, connecting your existing domestic circuits onto new breakers, testing the installation and providing the completion certificate. Any extra remedial work required to replace faulty existing wiring is quoted separately.
How long will the electricity be turned off during the work?
The incoming electrical supply must be isolated while the old casing is removed and the new consumer unit is mounted and wired. Power is restored once all circuits are secured and baseline testing confirms the installation is safe to switch back on, which takes place within the single booked visit.
Will I receive paperwork after the consumer unit upgrade?
Yes. Every consumer unit replacement is followed by testing, and the relevant electrical certificate is issued to record the installation of the board and the safety verification of the connected circuits.
Can you upgrade a fuse board in a tenanted flat or house?
Yes. We carry out consumer unit upgrades for landlords and letting agents across Gosport properties. Visits can be arranged to suit access requirements, and the completed certification is provided directly upon completion.
What happens if a circuit tests poorly during the upgrade?
If an existing household circuit shows an electrical fault or insulation breakdown when connected to the new board, we identify the issue to you clearly. Any necessary rewiring or fault correction is quoted separately rather than added without notice.
