Consumer unit replacement in Overton
Fuse board replacement in Overton from £650, on village houses of very mixed ages where no single approach fits them all, with every circuit tested and certified at the new board.
“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.”

Fuse board replacement pricing
We provide straightforward written pricing tailored to your property, making it clear what work is included before the installation begins.
- The starting price covers removing the existing board, fitting the new consumer unit, terminating the circuits and carrying out instrumental testing.
- The overall cost is shaped by the number of usable ways on the board and how many circuits need connecting onto breakers.
- Significant repairs to damaged house cables or complete circuit rewires are priced as distinct items rather than added into the board quote.
Consumer unit replacement in Overton
- JD Electricals replaces outdated, damaged or crowded fuse boxes with modern consumer units for homeowners and landlords throughout Overton.
- Properties fitted with rewireable cast iron or plastic fuse boards still rely on wire strands that melt when overloaded. We take out these legacy enclosures and fit modern metal consumer units featuring dedicated circuit breakers, allowing you to reset tripped circuits safely with a switch.
- An electrical safety check often flags an aged or damaged consumer unit as a defect requiring attention. We supply and fit a compliant board to satisfy your tenancy requirements, issuing written documentation as soon as the installation and checks conclude.
- A fuse board that buzzes, feels warm to the touch or trips repeatedly under normal daily use needs practical investigation. We inspect the incoming tails, verify the fault, and change the consumer unit to restore dependable electrical distribution across the building.
Fuse board upgrades across Overton addresses
- Whether you are updating an older property or preparing a home for sale, we handle domestic consumer unit changes across the Overton area.
- We visit properties along Winchester Street and London Road to assess legacy fuse arrangements, examine earthing tails and exchange obsolete panels for modern units that accommodate domestic daily use.
- Homes near Station Road and Bridge Street benefit from structured consumer unit changes. We isolate the electrical supply cleanly, remove the old casing, fit the new enclosure and connect each existing circuit to its designated breaker.
- For domestic properties along Southington Lane and into Quidhampton, we provide clear written estimates before changing the fuse board, making sure the main distribution point is thoroughly tested before leaving.
The fuse board replacement process
Every consumer unit change follows a steady, methodical sequence so power is switched off safely and turned back on with verified test results.
- 01
Arrival and supply isolation
We arrive at your booked appointment, inspect the current installation with you, and isolate the mains electrical supply so dismantling the existing fuse board proceeds safely without risk to the property.
- 02
Board mounting and circuit connections
The old unit is removed and the new metal consumer unit is fixed securely in position. We bring your existing circuits into the new enclosure, land each cable neatly onto its assigned breaker, and verify all termination points.
- 03
Live circuit testing and paperwork
Once the board is wired, power is restored to permit full instrumental testing across all protected circuits. We produce the relevant electrical certification detailing the installation and provide a labelled chart inside the enclosure lid.

Frequently asked questions about fuse board changes
Here are common questions asked by homeowners and landlords planning a consumer unit upgrade.
What affects the price of a fuse board replacement?+
The price depends on the overall size of the consumer unit required and the total number of domestic circuits that need to be reconnected and tested on the day.
— James Dunn
Will my electricity be turned off during the visit?+
Yes. The incoming mains supply must be switched off while the old fuse board is disconnected and the new unit is mounted. Power is safely restored once all breakers are wired and preliminary checks are complete.
— James Dunn
Do I receive a certificate after the new board is fitted?+
Yes. Every consumer unit upgrade is followed by instrumental testing of the connected circuits, and we issue the minor works certificate recording the work undertaken.
Can you upgrade fuse boxes in rental properties?+
Yes. We work regularly with landlords and letting agents, fitting compliant consumer units in rental houses and flats to help properties meet modern electrical requirements.
What happens if a circuit tests poorly during the upgrade?+
If testing reveals an underlying issue with household wiring, such as a damaged cable or severe neutral fault, we explain the situation clearly and quote that remedial work separately.
