Consumer unit replacement across Hatch Warren
We serve Hatch Warren from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
Every fuse board replacement follows a clear sequence. The mains power is temporarily turned off while the old unit is disconnected, the new board is mounted, and every circuit is checked.
- Power isolation and removing the old boardWe arrive at the booked time, review the board layout with you, and turn off the incoming mains electricity. The old fuse carrier and enclosure are then disconnected and removed from the wall.
- Mounting the consumer unit and connecting circuitsThe new enclosure is fixed securely in place and incoming mains tails are connected. Existing domestic circuits are connected to individual breakers and neatly arranged inside the enclosure.
- Testing circuits and marking the boardMains power is turned back on to conduct electrical testing across each circuit. We mark every breaker clearly so you know exactly which switch controls each area of 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.”

WhatsAppWhen should an old fuse board be replaced?
An upgrade is advisable if your home still uses rewireable wire fuses, has a wooden backing, lacks breaker protection, or feels warm during normal use. You should also consider an upgrade when planning an extension, refitting a kitchen, or adding heavy appliances that require additional electrical capacity.
Will my electricity be disconnected during the replacement?
Yes. The incoming mains electricity must be turned off while the old unit is taken down and the new consumer unit is installed. We complete the change in a single booked visit and re-energise the installation as soon as the circuits are connected and tested.
Do you issue certification after fitting a consumer unit?
Yes. Once the board is fitted and testing is complete, we issue a minor works certificate. This document records the details of the new consumer unit and confirms the test readings taken on the day for your property records.
Can you change consumer units in rental properties?
Yes. We fit new consumer units in owner-occupied properties, flats, and rented houses throughout Hatch Warren. Landlords or homeowners can arrange the booking directly, and we provide the completed paperwork upon conclusion of the visit.
What happens if a circuit cable is damaged behind the board?
If testing shows that an existing cable is undersized or damaged, we explain the issue immediately. We provide a separate written price for any required remedial repairs or circuit rewiring rather than adding unexpected charges to the initial invoice.
