Fuse Board Upgrades

Why Upgrade Your Fuse Board

Older fuse boards are a fire and shock hazard. Modern consumer units protect every circuit.

The Risk

Fuse boards over 20 years old often lack RCBO protection on individual circuits. That means a fault in one room can cut power to your whole house, or worse—it won't trip at all and the circuit overheats. Modern wiring regulations require protection on every circuit. Your insurance may not cover a claim if your board doesn't meet current standards.

Signs You Need an Upgrade

Fuses that blow repeatedly, especially in the same circuit
Rewireable fuses (the old cartridge type) instead of circuit breakers
A wooden back panel or visible corrosion
An EICR report (landlord's electrical inspection) flagging the board
You're renting the property out and need current compliance

Minimal Disruption, Same-Day Completion

One Day, Minimal Fuss

Most fuse board upgrades are completed in a single working day. We isolate the old board, install the new one, test it, and restore power the same afternoon. Your home is back to normal by evening.

Clean & Tidy

We leave the work area clean, remove the old board responsibly, and make sure all new cables are neatly run and secured. No mess, no surprises.

Certified & Compliant

Every upgrade meets the 18th Edition wiring regulations and beyond.

We don't cut corners on safety. All our fuse board work is carried out to current Building Regulations and BS 7909 standards. You walk away with a signed Electrical Installation Certificate, which is:

Essential for landlords

Peace of mind
