What happens on the day
Every consumer unit change follows a steady, methodical sequence so power is switched off safely and turned back on with verified test results.
- Arrival and supply isolationWe 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.
- Board mounting and circuit connectionsThe 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.
- Live circuit testing and paperworkOnce 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.

“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 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.
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.
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.
