Consumer unit replacement across Kempshott
We serve Kempshott from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
Every fuse board installation follows a structured process to ensure electrical safety and verify all existing circuits. We handle the process cleanly and keep domestic disruption to a minimum.
- Arrival and electrical isolationAt the start of the booked visit, we inspect the existing consumer unit and locate the incoming electrical supply tails. The power supply is safely turned off and isolated before any equipment is removed.
- Mounting and reconnecting circuitsThe old board is detached, and the new metal enclosure is mounted securely in place. Existing domestic power, lighting, cooker and shower circuits are terminated onto their respective circuit breakers.
- Circuit testing and identificationOnce the new consumer unit is installed, every circuit undergoes formal electrical testing to verify earthing and fault protection. Each switch is clearly marked with its designated circuit so that you know which breaker controls each section of your home.

“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 causes an older fuse board to need replacement?
An upgrade is usually required if the existing board uses rewireable fuses, lacks residual current device protection, shows signs of thermal damage, or has run out of ways for new appliances. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit provides sensitive circuit protection and keeps domestic electrical systems operating safely.
How long will the electrical supply be disconnected?
The electrical supply is isolated while the old board is dismantled and the new consumer unit is connected. Power is restored as soon as all circuits are landed on the new breakers and preliminary safety tests have been completed during the visit.
What happens if a circuit fault is discovered during testing?
Each circuit undergoes testing before and after connection to the new board. If an underlying cable defect or damaged circuit is found, we explain the situation clearly and provide a separate written quotation to repair that specific circuit rather than adding hidden costs.
Do you provide electrical certificates after the board change?
Yes. An electrical minor works certificate is issued following completion of the work. This document records the technical details of the new consumer unit and confirms that the circuits have undergone proper testing.
Can you change a consumer unit in a rental property?
Yes. We fit modern consumer units in rented houses and flats across Kempshott. Landlords and property owners can arrange the visit directly so that the electrical installation meets current rental safety standards.
