Fuse Box and Consumer Unit Replacement, Part P Certified
If your home still has an old-style fuse box with rewirable fuses and no RCD protection, upgrading to a modern consumer unit is one of the most important electrical safety improvements you can make. Modern consumer units include Residual Current Device protection, which detects dangerous faults including those that can cause fatal electric shocks, and cuts the power in milliseconds. All consumer unit replacement work is notified to building control under Part P, and you will receive a full Electrical Installation Certificate on completion. Our NICEIC-registered electricians carry out the full upgrade typically within a day, keeping the power off for the minimum time necessary and causing minimal disruption to your household.

Your Common Fuse Box Replacement Questions Answered
A Residual Current Device (RCD) is a safety device that monitors the flow of electricity through a circuit and cuts the power almost instantaneously if it detects a dangerous fault — such as current leaking through a person to earth. RCDs are one of the most important life-saving devices in a modern home, and they are required under current BS 7671 wiring regulations. If your fuse box does not have RCD protection — identifiable by the test button on the device — you should consider upgrading to a modern consumer unit as a priority.
Signs that your fuse box may need replacing include regularly tripping circuits, the presence of old-style ceramic or rewireable fuses instead of modern MCBs, no RCD protection, signs of burning or scorch marks around the unit, and a fuse box that is over 25 years old. An outdated consumer unit is a safety risk and may not meet current BS 7671 wiring regulations. Our electricians can inspect your fuse box and advise whether an upgrade is necessary.
Replacing a consumer unit in the UK typically costs between £500 and £1,200 for a standard domestic property, depending on the size of the installation, the number of circuits, and whether any remedial wiring work is required at the same time. Modern consumer units include dual RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit, which significantly improves the safety of your electrical installation. Our NICEIC-registered electricians provide a full, itemised quote before any work begins, and all consumer unit replacements include the required Part P notification and Electrical Installation Certificate on completion.
A consumer unit replacement (fuse box upgrade) typically takes between four and eight hours for an average property. During the work your electricity supply will need to be turned off, so it is best planned for a full day. Once the new consumer unit is installed and tested, your electrician will need to notify Building Control, and you will receive a Part P completion certificate confirming the work complies with current wiring regulations. This certificate is important for insurance and when selling your home.
