What sits behind the meter cupboard

A village that has grown up against the edge of a town, as Hammer has, tends to hold a mix of older cottages, pairs of semis and later houses on spare plots. The boards vary just as much. Some still have rewireable fuses with no RCD at all, which means nothing to cut the power quickly if someone touches a live part or a cable is damaged.

An RCD protected consumer unit changes that. It watches for current leaking to earth and disconnects in a fraction of a second. We fit dual RCD boards from £425 or full RCBO boards from £625, then test every circuit so you know the wiring behind the new board is sound.

  • No RCD? We put that right
  • Rewireable fuses removed
  • Insulation faults found by testing
  • Clear certificate for your records

Landlords and the five year EICR

If you let a home in Hammer, the rules in England are clear: as a private landlord you must have the electrics inspected and tested at intervals of no more than five years, and give the tenants a copy of the report. An old fuse box often leads to a C2 code on that report, and C2 items must normally be put right within 28 days.

We can deal with both together. Replace the board and the EICR costs just £99 on top, rather than £175 to £350 on its own. You receive the Electrical Installation Certificate for the new board and, provided nothing else turns up, a satisfactory report to give your tenants and, if asked, the council.

  • EICR £99 with any board
  • Standalone EICR £175 to £350
  • Help clearing C1 and C2 codes
  • Reports ready to share with tenants

Hammer questions

Asked in Hammer

Still not sure?

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

Call 0333 360 8691

Text us the report together with board photos, and a fixed price will come straight back. Most C2 items must be put right within 28 days, so we offer the earliest date we can and can deal with your tenant directly on access if you prefer. You then receive the certificate confirming the work is complete, ready to pass on.

Yes, and that is the usual way. Because the supply is off for most of the four to six hours the job takes, we agree a time with your tenants in advance and keep them informed on the day. When booking, let us know about anything that cannot be without power, such as a freezer full of food or medical equipment.

A correctly installed dual RCD board meets current regulations and will not be coded simply for being dual RCD. The difference is convenience: one fault can trip half the circuits. In a rented home that can mean a call from your tenant late in the evening, which is why some landlords prefer individual RCBO protection from £625.
