Fuse box replacement starts at £650, covering the new board, protection on the circuits, the testing and the certificate for the work. - Fuse box replacement (consumer unit upgrade): from £650 - 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. ### Your board still has rewirable fuses Old fuse wire carriers give no RCD protection, so the board is changed rather than repaired. ### You want to add a circuit A newer home usually keeps its board, and the question is whether it has a spare way for the new circuit. ### You are fitting an EV charger A 7.4kW charge point needs its own protected way, which is often what brings the board into the job. ### The whole house trips One shared RCD takes out every circuit at once, and separate RCBOs per circuit stop that happening. ### An EICR flagged the board itself A landlord certificate can code the board, and a replacement clears that code and the circuit protection behind it. ## 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. ### Newer housing where the work is an addition On newer Hook homes the existing board usually stays, so it is tested and checked for a spare way first. ### New driveways and charge points A new driveway keeps the cable run from board to charge point short, and the board then needs a spare protected way. ### Older village property on the original roads Older village houses get the standard checks on earthing, main bonding and meter tails before the board is touched. ### Where your board and meter sit A board in a hall cupboard, a porch or a garage changes how far the tails run from the meter. ### London Road to Bartley Way Whether the house is on London Road or Bartley Way, the same tests on earthing and every circuit come first. ## 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. ### Testing before anything is removed The earthing, main bonding and each circuit are tested with the power on, so the figure is known first. ### 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. ### Certificate and circuit chart You get the Electrical Installation Certificate for the new board and a written chart naming what each way feeds. ## Why customers in Hook choose JD Electricals The price for a board change is written down before the supply is switched off, and everything fitted is tested and certified. Bronze, Silver and Gold maintenance plans take 5, 10 or 15 percent off labour and certificates for homeowners and landlords who want the testing kept up. ## Recent fuse board work Board replacements from homes across Basingstoke and the Hampshire towns JD Electricals covers, not only Hook. ## 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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Where we replace fuse boards in Hook Board changes across Hook, from houses off Station Road to properties around Newnham Road. ## 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. - [Electrician in Hook](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/electrician-hook): Electrician in Hook for EICRs, fault diagnosis, consumer units and EV chargers, with access, symptoms or cable route confirmed first. - [Consumer unit replacement (all areas)](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/fuse-board-replacement): JD Electricals replaces fuse boards in Basingstoke from £650.
