Fuse box replacement: how we work

When replacement is sensible

With screw-in fuses instead of breakers, with no residual current device, with a board that is full while another circuit still has to go in, or with visible scorch or melt marks. A pre-1990 board with a single RCD covering everything is also due for replacement.

What you get back

A board with enough circuits for how you live now, with at least two RCDs so a fault in the garden does not take out the whole house. Every circuit gets a legible label, and you get an overview of what sits where.

How the day runs

We start by measuring and disconnecting, build the new board and reconnect circuit by circuit. The power is off in blocks, not all day. At the end we walk through the board together.

A fixed price in advance

Send a photo of the open fuse box and tell us what you are planning, and you get a fixed price within 24 hours. If it turns out on site that more is needed, for example to the earthing, you hear that first.

Send us your situation with a few photos and you will have a clear quote with a fixed price within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions about fuse box replacement

Question not answered here? Call or message us and we will think it through with you, free of charge.

How long will I be without power?

A few hours, spread across the day. We say in advance when, so you can plan around the freezer and working from home.

How many circuits do I need?

That depends on what will be connected: cooking, washing machine, dryer, charging point, heat pump. We work it out and leave room for later.

Does the grid operator need to attend?

Only if the supply has to be upgraded. Replacing the board itself needs nobody but us.

What if the earthing is not right?

Then replacing only makes sense once that is sorted. We measure the earthing and say what is needed before we start.
