We replace your consumer unit the right way — not a rushed “box swap”.
We replace your consumer unit the right way — not a rushed “box swap”.
- Full testing before energising
- Electrical Installation Certificate issued
- Part P notification (where required)
Takes 30 seconds. We’ll tell you if you actually need an upgrade.
You probably need an upgrade if:
-
- Your consumer unit is plastic or very old
-
- You have rewireable fuses / no modern protection
-
- Circuits trip often
-
- You need an EICR pass (landlord / sale / compliance)
-
- You’re renovating, extending, adding EV/loads
A consumer unit replacement isn’t “swapping a box”.
It’s testing the circuits and making sure the installation is safe and compliant.
If someone quotes cheap and skips proper testing… you pay later.

Slav replaced my old plastic fuse board with a safe new metal one, tested the whole flat, and sent me the safety certificate that same day. He explained everything very clearly, worked neatly and professionally, and left me feeling completely at ease. I finally have peace of mind knowing my electrics are safe.
