Consumer unit replacement across Popley
We serve Popley from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
Every fuse board change follows a structured procedure to keep electrical circuits safe, minimise household disruption and confirm full operation before power is restored.
- Initial check and electrical isolationWe examine the incoming electrical equipment and the existing board layout with you. Power is isolated safely at the main service switch so work proceeds with no live electricity present at the distribution point.
- Mounting and connecting the new boardThe outdated box is taken off the wall, and the new metal enclosure is mounted securely. Existing circuit cables are brought neatly into the enclosure and connected to designated, correctly rated breakers.
- Testing and circuit markingEach circuit is tested systematically to confirm earth fault loops, insulation resistance and breaker tripping speeds. We apply clear printed markers to every switch before handing over the finished installation.

“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 long will the electricity be turned off during the upgrade?
Power is isolated while the old board is removed and the new consumer unit is mounted and wired. Electricity is turned back on once all circuits are secured and tested during the booked visit.
Do I need to replace an old fuse box with rewireable fuses?
Old fuse boxes with wire elements lack modern trip switches and sensitive residual current protection. Upgrading to a new consumer unit significantly improves protection against electric shocks and electrical fire risks.
Will you provide certification after the new fuse board is installed?
Yes. Every consumer unit replacement is tested thoroughly upon completion, and you receive the relevant electrical installation certificate documenting the test readings for all connected circuits.
Can a fuse board replacement be carried out in a rented property?
Yes. We regularly replace dated consumer units in rented homes and flats across Popley for landlords wanting to modernise electrical distribution or satisfy safety inspection outcomes.
What happens if a fault is discovered on an existing circuit?
If testing reveals damaged cables or existing faults on an existing household circuit, we explain the issue clearly and provide a separate written price for remedial wiring rather than adding unquoted costs.
