The cost of a fuse board replacement in Sutton
The written price takes in the new metal unit with RCD and surge protection, the labour, circuit testing and the certificate. What moves it is the number of circuits, the condition of the existing wiring and any earthing or bonding the property needs.
- Defects that testing uncovers on existing circuits are priced separately before any repair goes ahead.
- New circuits, such as for an EV charger or a kitchen refit, are priced on their own.
- Any earthing or bonding improvement the property needs is quoted first.
When a Sutton property needs a new consumer unit
- The fuse board, also called the consumer unit, protects all the circuits in a property. Changing an old one is the biggest safety gain an older Sutton home can make.
- A board that still takes rewirable wire fuses, or sits on a wooden backboard, gives people no RCD protection. Without one, nothing cuts the supply fast enough to stop a shock.
- Plenty of boards fitted in the 1980s and 1990s trip on overload but have no residual current device. Breakers guard the wiring; an RCD guards people.
- Electric vehicle chargers, electric showers and kitchen refits each need capacity and protection an old board cannot give. A new consumer unit leaves room for all three.
Fuse board replacement for Sutton homes and premises
- TMB Electrics serves homeowners, landlords and businesses in Sutton, and a board change for any of them follows the same tested and certified process.
- The service is available for homes and premises around Sutton town centre and along Cheam Road and Carshalton Road, with the supply off for the main part of the visit.
- A rented home in Belmont or Benhilton can have the board changed and certified, clearing a C2 that would otherwise fail the EICR.
- Consumer unit upgrades are available across Rosehill, West Sutton and Sutton Garden Suburb, with the same testing and certification for every one.
What happens when the board is changed
The power stays off for the main part of the visit, which runs between half a day and a full day, with the work in three steps.
- 01
Circuits tested before the swap
Each circuit is checked before it goes onto the new board; a fault hiding in the wiring cannot end up tripping the new RCDs.
- 02
The board swap itself
The old board is taken out and the new metal unit fitted in its place, with each circuit reconnected and named so you can see what feeds what.
- 03
Live testing and the certificate
Once the power is back on, the whole installation is checked live and you are shown round the new board. The certificate follows for your records.
Other electrical work in Sutton
TMB Electrics also undertakes EICRs, full and partial rewires, fault finding, extra sockets, lighting work and EV charge points for Sutton customers.
Why Sutton homes pick TMB Electrics
The price is in writing before work starts, circuits are tested before the new board is energised, and Part P notification and the certificate are part of the job. The phone is answered day and night.

Questions about fuse board replacement in Sutton
A Sutton board change runs between half a day and a full day with the power off for the main part, and the certificate is what the home is left with.
How much is a fuse board replacement in Sutton?+
The quote in writing takes in the unit itself, the labour, the testing and the certification. Defects found on existing circuits, added circuits and earthing work are priced separately before anything goes ahead.
— Trevor Bush
How long does a consumer unit change take?+
Between half a day and a full day. Power is off for the main part of the visit, and all circuits are checked live before you are shown round the new board.
— Trevor Bush
Does old wiring work on a new board?+
Each circuit is checked first, and sound existing wiring goes straight onto the new unit. Where testing turns up a fault, the repair is priced on its own first.
Is a fuse board replacement notifiable?+
Yes. The work is certified and notified under Part P, and the certificate is issued for your records once testing is done.
Do I need a new board for an EV charger or electric shower?+
A new circuit needs capacity and protection an older board does not have, so the consumer unit is replaced first. The charger or shower circuit is a separate job priced on its own.
What is the difference between a fuse board and a consumer unit?+
They are two names for the same box. Consumer unit is the current term for the board holding the breakers and RCDs that protect each circuit.
