What happens on the day
We plan consumer unit replacements to minimise disruption while keeping your home safe. Power is safely isolated before any electrical components are stripped down.
- Supply isolation and initial inspectionWe arrive at the booked time, inspect the incoming cables and meter tails, and isolate the electrical supply at the main switch so the existing board can be removed without hazard.
- Mounting the enclosure and landing circuitsThe old fuse box is taken off the wall, and the new metal consumer unit is secured in place. We connect the meter tails, attach the earth bonding, and wire each circuit into its individual protective device.
- Circuit testing and energisationOnce all wiring is connected, we re-energise the installation and test every circuit for continuity, insulation resistance, and trip times before completing the circuit directory on the front cover.

“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 does it take to replace a fuse board?
Replacing a standard domestic consumer unit usually takes between three and five hours. This includes isolating the power, removing the old board, mounting the new enclosure, reconnecting all household circuits, and running safety tests on each one.
Will my electricity be turned off during the visit?
Yes. The incoming electrical supply must be turned off while the old fuse box is removed and the new unit is wired in. Power is restored once the board is secure and initial safety checks have been completed.
What paperwork do I receive after the consumer unit is installed?
We provide an electrical minor works certificate detailing the board replacement and recording the safety test results for all circuits connected to the new consumer unit.
What happens if an existing circuit is found to be faulty?
If testing reveals damaged cabling, degraded insulation, or a persistent fault on a circuit, we explain the findings immediately. We provide a separate written price for any required remedial wiring rather than adding unquoted costs to your bill.
Can you upgrade a fuse board for a rented house in Tadley?
Yes. We fit new consumer units in tenanted properties and private homes throughout Tadley, coordinating visits with landlords, letting agents, or tenants as required.
