Consumer unit and fuse board replacement in Reigate
Where a large villa north of the centre has been converted into flats, I often find several boards in one building and no clear record of which circuits serve which flat. That gets untangled before anything is replaced, because a wrong assumption there means somebody loses power they were not expecting to lose.
The Woodhatch and Rushetts side is more predictable and no less overdue. These are 1930s and post-war houses whose board has already been changed once, in the era before RCD protection extended to everything, and often with the meter and board in an outside cupboard that has weathered badly since.
Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable building work. Certification and the notification route are settled with you at the quote stage, with the certificate included in the agreed work instead of left for you to chase.

Trevor went over and beyond trying to sort out the recommissioning of my electrical installation. He spoke with my provider and the EICR certificate was ready in minutes. I will highly recommend

Consumer unit and fuse board replacement in Reigate — FAQs
Is a rewireable fuse box actually dangerous?+
It gives you no RCD protection, which is the real issue. Whether it is urgent depends on the circuits behind it, so I test first and tell you what I found rather than selling you a board on sight.
The board is in an outside cupboard. Does it stay there?+
Usually yes, if the position is sound and accessible. On the weathered outdoor cupboards around Woodhatch I check the enclosure and the incoming arrangement before agreeing to reuse it.
Our converted flat shares a hallway board. Can you still do it?+
Yes, once we have established which supply is yours and who can give access to the meter position. I settle that before booking rather than discovering it on the day with your neighbours watching.
Will everything still work afterwards?+
A modern board detects faults the old one could not, so occasionally a circuit that seemed fine trips once it is fitted. Testing beforehand means that is a conversation before the work, not a surprise after it.
Can the board be moved somewhere more sensible?+
Sometimes, and it is worth asking. Moving a board means new tails and often an arrangement about the meter position, so I price it as its own item instead of folding it quietly into the job.
