We serve Hook from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
Every fuse board installation follows an organised sequence that minimises disruption while keeping your property safe throughout the replacement.
- Safe electrical isolationOn arrival at the agreed time, we inspect the existing unit with you before safely isolating the mains supply. The old fuse board, rewireable bridges or outdated trip switches are disconnected and removed cleanly.
- Mounting and connecting the new enclosureWe secure the new consumer unit enclosure to the wall, dress the incoming meter tails, and terminate each domestic circuit into its designated protective breaker in line with the initial quotation.
- System testing and circuit identificationOnce the wiring is connected, the installation is energised and tested thoroughly. Each switch on the board is clearly labelled so you can easily identify which breaker controls your lights, sockets, and fixed appliances.

“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.”

WhatsAppHow long will my power be switched off during the installation?
The mains electricity supply must be isolated while the old fuse box is taken down and the new consumer unit is mounted and wired. We reconnect and test the circuits during the booked visit, restoring power before we leave the property.
What paperwork do I receive after the board is changed?
You receive the relevant electrical installation paperwork detailing the circuits connected, protective breaker ratings, and test results recorded during the commissioning of the new board.
Can you upgrade consumer units in rented properties and flats?
Yes. We fit new consumer units in owner-occupied houses, rented accommodation, and flats across Hook and neighbouring towns. Landlords or homeowners can schedule the work directly.
What happens if a circuit has damaged cables behind the board?
If testing reveals an underlying fault or degraded wiring on an existing circuit, we explain the situation clearly. Any required circuit repairs or rewiring work are priced separately in writing rather than added to the board cost.
Can extra circuits be added to the new board at the same time?
Yes. If you are planning an electric vehicle charger, garden lighting, or extra kitchen appliances, we can fit a board with sufficient spare ways and quote any additional circuit installations alongside the replacement.
