The right advice depends on what is on your wall

Homes on this side of Battle are a mix of ages, and the boards inside them vary just as much. Where the wall still holds rewireable fuses with no RCD protection, the answer is simple: that board should go. A metal consumer unit fitted in the last few years is a different conversation, and replacing it may not be the best use of your money.

A quick picture of the board, its labels and the main switch is the place to start. From that we can usually tell you whether it needs replacing, would benefit from a surge protection retrofit at £165, or only needs a periodic inspection to confirm it is in good order.

  • Photo assessment before any booking
  • Surge retrofit at £165
  • Old fuse boxes replaced
  • Newer boards inspected, not replaced

An EICR may be all a newer board needs

If your consumer unit is already a modern metal board with RCD protection, replacing it may be money spent for little gain. An Electrical Installation Condition Report tests every circuit, checks the earthing and bonding, and tells you plainly whether anything needs attention. It is also the document a buyer's surveyor or a letting agent is likely to ask for.

On its own, an EICR is priced between £175 and £350, with larger properties at the top of that range. If you already suspect the board needs changing, booking the two together brings the inspection down to £99, and you get one visit instead of two.

  • Every circuit tested and recorded
  • Earthing and bonding checked
  • Standalone EICR £175 to £350
  • £99 when booked with a board change

Blackfriars questions

Asked in Blackfriars

Still not sure?

Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.

Call 0333 360 8691

Age alone is not the test. What matters is the protection it gives: whether there are RCDs, whether the enclosure is metal, whether surge protection is fitted and whether the circuits test well. A twenty year old board can still be serviceable, while a much newer one can have problems. An inspection settles the question.

Yes. A standalone EICR gives the buyer a clear, recognised record of the installation's condition. If it finds issues that need fixing before completion, we explain each one and give a fixed price for the remedial work, including a board change if that is the sensible route.

Often, yes. Where the board is modern and has room to spare, fitting a Type 2 surge protector to it costs £165. If there is no room or the board is an older design, a retrofit may not be possible, and we would tell you that from your photos before you book.
