Northgate's mix of flats and houses
Northgate combines post war houses with low rise flats and maisonettes, some now privately owned or let. In a flat, the consumer unit is often inside the front door or in a hall cupboard, while the meter may sit in a communal cupboard or on another floor, joined by a cable that serves the flat even though it passes through shared space.
Before quoting, we like to see where the meter is, where the board is and the route between them. That tells us whether access to a communal area is needed on the day and whether the supply cable to your flat is in good enough condition to connect to a new board.
- Low rise flats and maisonettes
- Post war houses
- Meter and board positions checked
- Communal access arranged ahead

Moving the board
When the board is in the wrong place
In older flats the board can end up somewhere awkward: high above a door, inside a kitchen cupboard, or in a narrow hall where it blocks storage. A replacement is a sensible moment to move it somewhere easier to reach in the dark, away from heat and water, and where a future buyer's surveyor will find it.
Moving the board with a replacement adds £250 to the board price, and a relocation on its own is £395. Whether it can move depends on the length and route of the supply cable, so we always confirm it is feasible from photos before you commit.
- Relocation with a new board, add £250
- Standalone relocation £395
- Feasibility checked from photos
- Board placed for easy access

Northgate questions
Asked in Northgate
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691The consumer unit inside your flat is normally your responsibility, but check your lease, especially if the work needs access to a communal meter cupboard. Where the supply has to be isolated there, the freeholder or managing agent may need to arrange access. Give us their details and we can liaise with them for you.
A faint hum from some devices can be normal, but a loud buzz, crackling, heat or a burning smell can mean a loose connection or a failing component. Switch off the affected circuit if you can do so safely, and call us. We can talk you through it on the phone, and the aim is to have someone with you that day.
Small flats often run only six or so circuits, so dual RCD protection across six ways, from £425, can be enough. Where there is an electric shower, or you expect to add circuits later, a 10 way board at £495 gives room to spare. We confirm the right size from your photos before you book.
