“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 much is a new fuse board in Old Basing?
The consumer unit upgrade quote covers the board and the circuits to reconnect and test. We confirm the written price before removing the existing unit, so you can see the proposed work and paperwork before it starts.
Will you cut into the walls of an older village house?
The board change reuses the cables already in the walls, so plaster is not chased for the consumer unit. If new tails or bonding are needed, they are taken through the older village house without cutting in. That extra cable work is priced on its own.
Can you change the board in a listed house?
Yes, when the new consumer unit stays where the old one is, because that does not alter historic fabric. Consent is needed before anything that would affect the fabric, such as moving the board or cutting in. Extra work of that kind is written up and priced separately.
What do you check before replacing a fuse board?
We inspect the consumer unit and connected circuits before replacing the board. The existing wiring and protective devices are checked, and the new installation is tested after connection.
How long is the power off?
Only while the old board is out and the new one is going in, not for the whole visit. Testing at the start is done with the supply on, then circuits come back one at a time. In an older village house the board stays in the same place, so the off period is the changeover, not a relocation.
