We serve Winklebury from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
Every board change follows an orderly process to ensure circuits are correctly identified, safely isolated and tested before the power is turned back on.
- Supply isolation and board inspectionWe arrive at the scheduled time, inspect the existing consumer unit and isolate the electrical supply at the meter to ensure safe working conditions before disconnecting any wiring.
- Mounting and connecting circuitsThe old fuse board is removed and the new metal-clad consumer unit is secured in place. Incoming tails and existing domestic circuits are routed neatly and terminated into their designated breakers.
- Labelling and full circuit testingOnce installed, every breaker is labelled clearly to show the area it serves. We carry out instrument testing across all connected circuits to verify earth continuity, insulation resistance and breaker operation.
- Certification handoverBefore completing the visit, we energise the board, confirm normal operation of household fittings and supply the relevant electrical certificate documenting the installation and test readings.

“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 installation?
The main electrical supply must be isolated while the old board is dismantled and the new unit is fitted. Power is restored once circuits are reconnected and initial safety checks are complete, typically within the same booked visit.
What documentation will I receive after the consumer unit is replaced?
You receive a complete electrical installation certificate that records the new consumer unit details, the protective breaker ratings and the test readings taken across all connected circuits.
Can an older fuse board fail an electrical safety inspection?
Older rewireable fuse boxes frequently lead to issues on landlord EICR reports because they lack modern residual current protection. Upgrading the board brings the consumer unit into compliance with current standards.
What happens if a circuit in the house is damaged?
If testing reveals a damaged cable or insulation failure on an existing circuit, we explain the fault directly. We provide a separate written price to repair or replace that specific circuit rather than adding unquoted costs.
Do you upgrade consumer units in rental flats as well as houses?
Yes. We replace fuse boards in owner-occupied properties, flats, bungalows and rental houses throughout Winklebury and the surrounding Hampshire areas.
