Consumer unit upgrade for an older semi-detached home

The original fuse box was decades old — a mix of rewireable fuses and no RCD protection at all, flagged as an immediate safety concern during a routine electrical inspection. We replaced it with a fully modern consumer unit fitted with RCBOs on every circuit, so a fault on one circuit no longer knocks out the whole house. Every circuit was tested and the work signed off with a full Electrical Installation Condition Report. The whole job was completed in a single day, with the power only off for the time it took to swap the unit over.

A fuse box coded C2 on a routine EICR
The house still had its original fuse box, decades old, with rewireable fuses and no RCD protection on any circuit. It came to light during a routine Electrical Installation Condition Report, where our engineer coded it C2: potentially dangerous, action required.

Without an RCD, an earth fault may not be cut off quickly enough to prevent an electric shock. Rewireable fuses can also be repaired with the wrong wire, so a circuit can end up with less protection than it should have.

One fault could cut power to the whole house
