Whether you’re concerned about an old fusebox or renovating your home, we ensure your electrical installation is fully compliant with current safety regulations.

Why Replace Your Old Fuse Board?

If your property still has an outdated fuse box with rewireable fuses, it may no longer meet UK electrical safety standards. A modern consumer unit includes:

• RCDs (Residual Current Devices) – to instantly cut off electricity during faults or electric shocks
• MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) – to protect individual circuits from overloading
• Better fire protection – reducing the risk of overheating and electrical fires
• SPDs - Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) are safety components fitted inside modern consumer units (fuse boards) to protect your electrical installation from power surges or voltage spikes — typically caused by lightning strikes, grid switching, or faulty appliances.
• Peace of mind – knowing your home is safer, especially for older residents or during the winter months

What’s Involved in a Fuse Board Change?

A fuse board upgrade isn’t just a quick swap – it’s a regulated electrical job that should only be carried out by a Part P compliant, NICEIC registered electrician.

During the process, we will:

✔ Test your existing circuits for faults and noncompliant electrical installations

✔ Check and upgrade main earthing and bonding (gas, water, etc.)

✔ Install a new consumer unit

✔ Issue a full Electrical Installation Certificate

✔ Notify your local authority as required under Part P regulations
