What happens on the day
A standard consumer unit replacement generally takes between half a day and a full day to complete. Household power is isolated safely while the old enclosure is disconnected.
- Initial circuit testing and isolationThe incoming electrical supply is safely turned off before the existing enclosure is dismantled. Each individual circuit undergoes insulation resistance and continuity checks to ensure wiring can safely handle modern protective devices.
- Fitting the metal consumer unit enclosureThe old board is uninstalled and replaced with a non-combustible metal consumer unit. All incoming line, neutral and earth cables are brought cleanly into the casing, terminated into matching breakers and marked for circuit identification.
- Final testing and handover walk throughOnce the board is mounted and connected, the electricity supply is restored to carry out live operating tests on the residual current devices. We walk you through the switch positions and test buttons before leaving.

WhatsAppHow long does a fuse board replacement take?
A typical consumer unit installation takes between half a day and a full day. The main power will need to be switched off while the old unit is removed, the new metal enclosure is mounted and the circuits are connected and tested.
Will my current electrical wiring work with a new consumer unit?
In most cases, existing cables connect directly into the new board without difficulty. We test each circuit beforehand to check for hidden faults or degraded insulation that might cause modern sensitive breakers to trip.
What causes a consumer unit to trip repeatedly after an upgrade?
Modern consumer units feature highly sensitive residual current devices that detect small earth leakages that old fuse wire ignored. Recurring trips are usually caused by a faulty household appliance, water ingress in an outside light or damaged cable insulation.
Do I receive certification after the new board is fitted?
Yes. Once all dead and live electrical testing is concluded, an Electrical Installation Certificate is produced detailing the test values for every circuit, confirming the installation complies with current safety regulations.
Does the electricity have to stay off for the whole visit?
The power must remain switched off while the enclosure is swapped and connections are terminated. Once the circuits are securely fastened into the new breakers, power is temporarily restored to complete final live verification tests.
