Broadfield homes and their consumer units

Broadfield was built in the 1970s as one of Crawley's newer neighbourhoods, with houses, flats and maisonettes grouped around a local centre at Broadfield Barton. Homes of this age have often had their board changed once already, but that replacement may itself be twenty or more years old, and it may not give every circuit RCD protection.

Every circuit comes under RCD protection once the old unit is swapped for a dual RCD board, which costs from £425. For flats and smaller homes an 8 way RCBO board from £625 is a neat fit, giving each circuit its own device so a fault in one room no longer darkens the rest.

Board in the hall, meter down the stairs

In a flat or maisonette the consumer unit often sits in a hall cupboard while the meter is somewhere else, sometimes in a shared cupboard on the ground floor. The meter tails between them can be long and may run through communal areas. Changing the board means isolating the supply at the meter, so we need safe access to it on the day.

If there is no isolator switch beside the meter, we explain the options, which can involve UK Power Networks. Leaseholders should check their lease and, where needed, let the managing agent know. We are happy to send the quote and certificate details to them as well as to you.

  • Meter access arranged
  • Long meter tails checked
  • Managing agents kept informed
  • Compact boards for tight cupboards

At the supply, which usually means beside the meter, wherever that is in the building. If there is an isolator switch, we use it. If not, we explain the options before the day, which can mean arranging isolation with UK Power Networks. Either way, normally only your home is affected, not your neighbours.

It depends on your lease. The consumer unit inside your flat is usually your responsibility, but some leases ask you to tell the freeholder or managing agent about electrical alterations. Check yours, or ask the agent. We can provide the quote in writing and, afterwards, the certificate and Building Control notification for their records.

In most cases, yes. Modern consumer units are not much larger than the boards they replace, and an 8 way RCBO unit suits many smaller homes. If space is too tight we will say so before starting. Moving the board when we replace it adds £250, so you can decide whether it is worth doing.
