Roadside houses and cottages

Older boards in a roadside village

Homes along the main road and the lanes off it range from older cottages to twentieth century houses, and their consumer units are just as mixed. Wooden backed fuse boards, cast iron switch fuses, rewireable fuses and plastic units with a single RCD can all turn up, sometimes side by side in one cupboard after several rounds of improvements.

A new metal consumer unit replaces the lot, with each circuit identified, protected and tested. Where we find an old switch fuse for a cooker or shower, we bring the circuit onto the main board if its cable allows, and you always get the test results in writing.

  • Wooden backed boards removed
  • Old switch fuses tidied away
  • Metal enclosure as standard
  • Test results in writing

Electrical safety checks for landlords

In England a private landlord has to get the electrics in a rented home inspected and tested at intervals of five years or less, then pass a copy on to the tenants. Letting a house in Five Ash Down makes that duty yours, and an old board without RCD protection is one of the commonest reasons a report comes back unsatisfactory.

A standalone EICR costs between £175 and £350, scaled to the size of the property, or £99 if it is booked with a board change. If a report has already flagged C1 or C2 issues at the consumer unit, we can replace the board and issue the certificate you need to show the work was done.

  • EICRs from £175 standalone
  • £99 with a new board
  • Board defects put right
  • Certificates emailed within 48 hours

Five Ash Down questions

Asked in Five Ash Down

Still not sure?

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

Call 0333 360 8691

English rules for private lets call for an inspection at least once in every five years, or earlier if the last report asks for that. You must give the report to your tenants and supply it to the council if asked. We can book the inspection around your tenants and email the report when it is complete.

A C2 means potentially dangerous, and it needs putting right. With the report and a board photo in front of us, we can say whether replacing it is the right fix. Once the work is done you get an Electrical Installation Certificate, which, together with the report, shows the remedial work has been completed.

We email the certificate to you within 48 hours of the job, and we can copy in your letting agent if you give us their address when you book. We also handle the Part P notification to Building Control, so there is nothing separate for you to arrange.
