Consumer Unit Upgrade
& Fuse Box Replacement — Essex & East London

Replace your outdated fuse box with a modern consumer unit featuring full RCD protection. NICEIC certified installation, Part P compliant, with Building Control notification and full electrical certification included.

Why Replace Your Old Fuse Box?

Modern consumer units offer protection that older fuse boxes simply cannot provide

Real Protection Against Shock & Fire

Modern consumer units include RCD (Residual Current Device) protection that can cut power in milliseconds — preventing fatal electric shocks and significantly reducing the risk of electrical fires.

  • 30mA RCD protection on all circuits
  • RCBO for individual circuit protection
  • Surge protection devices available

Meet Current Regulations

Older fuse boxes do not meet BS 7671 (18th Edition) requirements. An upgrade brings your installation into compliance — and is often required by insurers, mortgage lenders, and councils before a property can be let or sold.

  • BS 7671 18th Edition compliant
  • Meets Building Regulations Part P
  • Insurance acceptable certification

Capacity for Modern Living

A consumer unit upgrade is the ideal time to add circuits for EV charging, garden offices, or additional kitchen appliances. Modern units have the capacity to support today's electrical demands.

  • More circuits for modern needs
  • Support for EV charging points
  • Additional capacity for extensions

Supports Property Sale & Lettings

An updated consumer unit is increasingly required by mortgage surveyors and letting councils. It removes a common barrier to completing a sale or letting a property — and is often flagged as a C2 item on an EICR.

  • Satisfies mortgage lenders
  • Essential for property sales
  • Required for landlord compliance
