Replace an old fuse box with a modern consumer unit — better protection against shock and fire, and full compliance with the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations.
Your consumer unit (fuse box) is the heart of your electrical system. Older boards with rewireable fuses or a single RCD offer far less protection than a modern unit, where each circuit has its own RCBO — so a fault on one circuit no longer plunges the whole house into darkness.
We supply and fit modern consumer units across Blackheath, Greenwich and SE London, typically in half a day. Every upgrade includes the necessary testing and an Electrical Installation Certificate. Where existing circuits need attention to pass, we'll explain this clearly and quote before proceeding.
A standard replacement starts from around £800 supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the board size and whether any circuits need remedial work to pass testing — we'll confirm with a fixed quote.
Most consumer unit upgrades are completed in around 3–5 hours, with only a short interruption to your power.
Modern RCBOs are more sensitive, so existing faults can show up. We test everything and tell you upfront if anything needs attention.
