Consumer unit & fuse board upgrades in Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire
A replacement consumer unit must suit the existing installation. We assess the circuits and protective arrangements before recommending an upgrade.
Assess before replacing
An older fuse board may prompt a review, but fitting a new enclosure does not repair problems elsewhere in the wiring. Existing circuits, earthing and bonding need to be considered. Any necessary remedial work should be explained before the job starts.
Understand what is included
Ask which protective devices are proposed, what testing is included and how any existing defects will be handled. Consumer unit replacement in a dwelling is notifiable work in England. The applicable certification and Building Regulations notification route should be agreed with the contractor.
Prepare for the shutdown
Electricity will need to be isolated during the work. Let us know about equipment that must remain powered, access restrictions and any known faults. We can then explain the practical arrangements and the documentation you will receive.
A review is different from an automatic replacement
Repeated tripping, damage or planned additional circuits are reasons to arrange an assessment. The age or appearance of a board alone does not establish the condition of the whole installation. Ask for the reasons behind any recommendation and whether the proposal includes necessary work to existing circuits.

How do I request a quotation?
Use the enquiry form or call 07745 849126. Include your location, the type of property, the work required and any timing constraints. We will discuss whether a site visit or further information is needed.
Can I get a fixed price from a photograph?
A photograph helps us understand the work, but it cannot show the condition or capacity of the entire installation. We may need a site visit or additional details before giving an accurate quotation.
Will I receive electrical documentation?
The records depend on the work. New installations and alterations require appropriate inspection, testing and documentation; an EICR reports on the condition of an existing installation. Ask which certificate, report or notification applies to your quotation and keep the handover documents with your property records.
