Consumer unit and fuse board replacement in Sutton
Consumer unit replacement across Sutton SM1 and SM2. I test the circuits behind the board before quoting it, because a new board cannot fix old cable.

Consumer unit and fuse board replacement in Sutton
Two findings come up again and again on Sutton boards. In the Edwardian and interwar stock, a rewireable board with no RCD anywhere and an earthing arrangement that predates the rules it would now be judged by. In work done through the 1990s and 2000s, a split-load board leaving half the house outside RCD protection, because that was normal at the time.
Where one of the large Edwardian villas between the town centre and Cheam Village has been split into flats, or in the 1920s and 1930s maisonettes around Grove Avenue, you get several boards in one building and a meter position that is nobody's obvious responsibility. Working out whose supply is whose comes before any figure.
A board change is notifiable building work. You will know the certification and notification route before I start, with the paperwork included in the agreed job rather than added on later.

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 Sutton — FAQs
Will a new board stop my lights tripping?+
Only if the board is the cause. On older Sutton wiring the trip is often a fault the old board was too crude to detect, so I test the circuits first. Fitting a modern board over that just makes the fault visible.
How long will the power be off?+
Most of a working day for a straightforward change. I agree the window in advance, so if you work from home in SM1 or SM2 tell me and we plan around your calls.
The board is in a shared hallway of a converted house. Is that a problem?+
No, but it gets sorted before the booking, not on the day. I confirm which supply serves your flat and who controls access to the meter cupboard, so nobody else loses power unexpectedly.
Might you find more work once the old board is off?+
Sometimes, and you hear about it at that moment rather than afterwards. Anything remedial is priced as its own item so the decision stays yours.
Do you cover Belmont and the Cheam side of SM2?+
Yes. Belmont sits in its own permit zone with weekday-only hours, which affects where I unload rather than what the job costs.
