Boards that have outlived several owners

Playden has a mix of older properties and houses from the last hundred years or so. Whatever the age, a board that has outlived several owners tends to show it: handwritten labels that no longer match, extra circuits squeezed in for a conservatory or kitchen, and rewireable fuses sharing an enclosure with newer breakers.

We start by tracing every circuit, so the new board comes with an accurate schedule rather than guesswork. Next comes the board that suits the house, either a dual RCD unit at £425 or full RCBO protection starting at £625, and every circuit is tested before we hand it back.

  • Every circuit traced and named
  • Mismatched labels corrected
  • Dual RCD from £425
  • Full RCBO from £625

When a survey flags the fuse box

When a house changes hands, the buyer's survey commonly notes an old consumer unit and recommends an electrical inspection. That one comment can unsettle a sale, delay a mortgage offer or prompt a request to knock something off the price. Dealing with it early, whether you are buying or selling, usually keeps things simpler and cheaper.

Sellers can replace the board before listing and hand buyers a current certificate. Buyers can book us soon after completion and add an EICR for £99 alongside the board change. Either way, the Electrical Installation Certificate and Building Control notification give you clear paperwork for the file.

  • Certificate ready for your solicitor
  • EICR £99 with a board change
  • Fixed price to agree with a buyer

Asked in Playden

Still not sure?

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

Call 0333 360 8691

A single snapshot of the board is the best place to start. We will tell you what it is, whether it has RCD protection and what replacing it would cost. You can then decide whether to replace it before completion or agree a figure with the buyer. A fixed written price helps either way, because nobody is left guessing.

Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed for six years. You also receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, a circuit schedule and confirmation that the work was notified under Part P, which together give a future buyer confidence that the job was done properly by our own directly employed installers.

The Electrical Installation Certificate covers the new work: the board and the testing done to fit it. An EICR is a wider condition report on the whole installation, with any defects graded. With a board change we already test every circuit, so adding a full EICR costs £99 rather than £175 to £350 on its own.
