Fuse Box & Consumer Unit Replacement

From £660 inc. VAT for a standard consumer unit replacement, including RCBO protection on every circuit, built-in Surge Protection (SPD), full testing, building control notification, and certification. Final price depends on circuit count and whether any rewiring is needed.

Most homes are done in a single visit, typically 4–6 hours, including testing and certification. Power is off for that window, which we confirm with you in advance.

Yes — "fuse box" is the older term for what's now called a consumer unit. Modern consumer units use RCBO circuit breakers instead of rewireable fuses.
