Are you due a fuseboard installation/replacement?

There are many households in the UK that fail to comply with the IEE wiring regulations due to their fuse box & require new fuse box installation. Lots of homeowners & landlords still find themselves relying on old-style wiring systems & fuse boxes. Which can often invalidate your home insurance or cause potential harm through fire & electric shock. If your property is in a similar condition, then you should consider installing a new fuse box for safety reasons.
Leave your consumer unit installation in the hands of professionals

Even if your old consumer unit is working as intended, if the enclosure is made of plastic then your property is at greater risk of fire according to statistics gathered by the London Fire Brigade (LFB). The LFB recorded a startling increase of 182 home fires in the period of 2011/12 (71 home fires) – 2013/14 (253 home fires), they attributed this rise to poor wiring practices which led to plastic consumer units overheating and catching fire.
Our qualified and skilled electricians can easily install a metal consumer unit as recommended by the recent update to the British Standard for wiring regulations (BS 7671, 421.1.2011). A new, metal consumer unit installation will not only easily handle today’s ever-increasing electricity demands, but also successfully pass the UK’s strict building regulations & keep any type of insurance valid.

What goes into a fuse box replacement?

Professional earth & bonding check

Before replacing a fuse box or circuit breaker of any kind, our electrician will first check if everything is properly earthed and bonded.
