Consumer unit replacement services from JD Electricals

Consumer unit replacement in Kempshott

Kempshott is one era of estate houses. Homesteads Road and Kempshott Lane boards have no spare way. The new unit is the first extra ways those houses get.

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 Kempshott?

A Homesteads Road hall cupboard swap starts at £650 and is how one era houses get empty ways. Later shower and garage conversion circuits land on the new unit as part of that visit.

  • A later garage conversion circuit that already exists lands on the new unit as part of that swap.
  • Bronze, Silver and Gold plans take five, ten or fifteen percent off labour and certificates against that starting price.

What happens on the day

The visit records the full board and any later shower or garage conversion, then fits a unit with spare ways.

  1. 01

    The full board is listed

    Original ways and later additions are written down before the old unit comes off.

  2. 02

    The new unit goes in the same cupboard

    Each circuit lands on its own RCBO. Empty ways are named on the door card.

  3. 03

    Spare ways written on the door card

    Every circuit is tested. Empty ways are named so a later circuit has somewhere to land.

Work that often sits with a new board

A Kempshott EICR from £150 can list the full original board before the swap. A 7.4kW charger is only booked after the new unit has empty ways on the door card.

One era boards with no spare way

James Dunn sizes the new Kempshott enclosure so Homesteads Road cupboard doors still close. Empty ways on the door card are how those houses get capacity again.

Fuse board questions in Kempshott

Questions about one era boards, spare ways, garage conversions and the £650 starting price.

Why is Kempshott different from Brighton Hill?+

Brighton Hill was built in phases with different boards. Kempshott is one era. The original boards have no spare way.

James Dunn

Will the Homesteads Road cupboard door still close?+

Yes. The new enclosure is sized for that cupboard.

James Dunn

What happens to a garage conversion circuit?+

It lands on its own RCBO. It does not stay on a fused spur on a full board.

Is Buckskin included?+

No. Buckskin is a different estate. This Kempshott visit is one era houses.

Who does the swap?+

James Dunn of JD Electricals. The starting figure is £650 for one consumer unit.
