Consumer unit replacement in Hook
Fuse board replacement in Hook from £650, on newer estate housing where the board stays and the work is an addition, and on older village property needing the standard checks.
“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 Hook?
Fuse box replacement starts at £650, covering the new board, protection on the circuits, the testing and the certificate for the work.
- The number of circuits, where the board sits and the condition of the meter tails and main earth move the figure.
- Anything the testing finds, such as a faulty circuit, is priced on its own rather than added to the board price.
Fuse board replacement for homes in Hook
- A fuse board replacement in Hook starts at £650 and leaves you with protection on every circuit and an Electrical Installation Certificate for the new board.
- Old fuse wire carriers give no RCD protection, so the board is changed rather than repaired.
- A newer home usually keeps its board, and the question is whether it has a spare way for the new circuit.
- A 7.4kW charge point needs its own protected way, which is often what brings the board into the job.
Fuse boards in Hook houses
- Hook has newer estate housing alongside older village property on the original roads, and the board work is different in each.
- On newer Hook homes the existing board usually stays, so it is tested and checked for a spare way first.
- A new driveway keeps the cable run from board to charge point short, and the board then needs a spare protected way.
- Older village houses get the standard checks on earthing, main bonding and meter tails before the board is touched.
What happens on the day
A board change in Hook runs in three stages, and the written figure is settled before the old board comes out.
- 01
Testing before anything is removed
The earthing, main bonding and each circuit are tested with the power on, so the figure is known first.
- 02
The supply goes off for the change
The power goes off while the old board comes out, and circuits come back one at a time as each is tested.
- 03
Certificate and circuit chart
You get the Electrical Installation Certificate for the new board and a written chart naming what each way feeds.
Other electrical work in Hook
An EICR from £200, extra sockets from £85 and EV charger installation from £750 are the jobs that most often come up alongside a new board.

Fuse board questions from Hook customers
The questions Hook homeowners and landlords ask before a board change.
How much is a new fuse board in Hook?+
From £650, including the board, the circuit protection and the certificate. The number of circuits and the condition of the meter tails and main earth decide where your figure lands. You see that figure in writing before the supply is switched off.
— James Dunn
How long is my power off for?+
Only for the change itself, not the whole visit. Testing is done with the supply on, then the power goes off while the old board comes out. Circuits come back one by one as each is tested.
— James Dunn
Do I need a new board to have an EV charger fitted?+
Not always. A 7.4kW charge point needs its own protected way, so the board is changed only if it has no spare way or the wrong protection. EV charger installation starts at £750 and a new driveway keeps the cable run short.
My house in Hook is fairly new, does the board still need changing?+
Usually not. On newer Hook housing the job is an addition rather than a replacement, so the existing board is tested and checked for a spare way. If it passes and has room, you keep it.
What happens if something else fails while you are here?+
It is priced on its own. The testing before the change shows up a faulty circuit, and you get a separate figure for that rather than a larger bill for the board. A minor works certificate for a single repair starts at £95.
What paperwork do I get for the new board?+
An Electrical Installation Certificate for the board, with the test readings for each circuit on it. You also get a written chart naming what every way feeds, so the board can be read without opening anything.
Can a landlord certificate be done on the same visit?+
Yes. An EICR starts at £200 and the circuit testing sits alongside the board work, so one visit covers both. The certificate then records the new board rather than the one you replaced.
