A scattering of country homes
Old boards in country homes
Shillinglee is a small place with only a scattering of homes, set among farmland and woods close to the county boundary. Boards in rural houses like these are often older than the kitchens and bathrooms they serve, with rewireable fuses, cartridge fuses or an early RCD unit still doing the work, sometimes with a garage or workshop fed from its own separate switch.
Replacing the board clears out those mixed devices and puts every circuit, including any supply to an outbuilding, behind proper RCD protection. The board also carries Type 2 surge protection, while the results of a full installation test go on a certificate, sent to you by email no more than 48 hours later.

Bringing the board somewhere sensible
In houses that have been altered over the years, the consumer unit tends to stay wherever it was first fitted: a garage, a porch, a back lobby or high above a door. Extensions and new kitchens grow around it until it is hard to reach, damp, or hidden behind coats and shelving, which is no help when you need to reset it in the dark.
If your board is in a sensible place, we replace it like for like. If not, we can fit the new board in a better position for £250 on top of the board price, rerouting the tails and extending the circuits. Moving an existing board without replacing it costs £395.
- Like for like where it suits
- Relocation £250 with a new board
- Standalone move £395
- Tails rerouted neatly

Shillinglee questions
Asked in Shillinglee
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Somewhere dry, easy to reach and close to where the supply comes in, so the meter tails stay short. A hallway or utility room wall at a comfortable height often works well. We avoid bathrooms, damp outbuildings and spots behind fixed furniture, and we agree the new position with you before any cable is moved.
Meter tails are kept as short as practical, because the regulations limit how far they can run without extra protection. For a move of a short distance we simply extend the tails. Further than that, we fit a switch fuse beside the meter and run a properly sized cable to the new board. Your photos usually tell us which applies.
Sometimes. If your existing unit is modern, in good condition and already gives RCD protection to every circuit, a standalone relocation at £395 may be all you need. If it still has rewireable fuses or only partial RCD cover, replacing it in the new position, for £250 on top of the board price, is usually the better value.
