Based nearby in Wimbledon, our NICEIC-registered electricians have over 17 years’ experience. Every replacement is fully tested and certificated on completion, giving you documented proof that your new installation is safe and compliant.
Why Replace Your Fuse Board?
Your fuse board (or consumer unit) is the heart of your property’s electrical system — it distributes power to each circuit and provides the protective devices that keep you safe. Older boards often fall short of what modern homes need, and what current regulations require. Common reasons for replacement include:
- No RCD protection — older boards using rewirable fuses or basic circuit breakers may lack Residual Current Devices, which cut the power within milliseconds if a fault occurs. RCD protection is one of the most important electrical safety measures in any property.
- Frequent tripping — a board that trips repeatedly may be struggling with the load of a modern home, or masking an underlying fault that needs investigating.
- Adding new circuits — if you are adding an electric shower, EV charger, extension, or additional circuits, an older board may not have the capacity to accommodate them safely.
- Age and condition — older boards, particularly those with rewirable fuses or made of outdated materials, may no longer meet current standards and can be flagged during an EICR.
- Selling or letting — an outdated consumer unit is often raised during a property sale or an EICR inspection on a rental property.
What a Modern Consumer Unit Gives You
A modern consumer unit does considerably more than the old fuse boxes it replaces:
- RCD protection that disconnects the supply the instant it detects a dangerous fault, helping prevent electric shock and fire
- The ability to reset a tripped circuit at the flick of a switch, rather than replacing a blown fuse wire
- Individual protection for each circuit, so a fault on one does not necessarily take out others
- Capacity for additional circuits, giving you room to expand as your electrical needs grow
- Compliance with current wiring regulations (BS 7671)
Fully Tested and Certificated
Replacing a fuse board is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a NICEIC-registered contractor, we self-certify our work, which means you do not need to arrange a separate inspection with the local authority. On completion, we test the full installation and issue the appropriate certificate confirming that the work meets current standards — an important document if you later sell or let the property.
