Fuse Box Replacement in St Leonards-on-Sea

In most cases, yes. Once every circuit has been traced and tested, we design one consumer unit for the whole house, sometimes with a second board on an upper floor to avoid very long cable runs. The final price depends on the number of ways and boards needed, so send photos of every board and meter in the house and we will come back with a fixed figure before any work is booked.

Once the house is a single home, a separate landlord supply is usually no longer needed. We move the hallway and stair lighting onto the new board, make sure any smoke and heat alarms you keep are powered correctly from it, and advise on suitable interlinked alarms for a family home. The old landlord board is then disconnected and made safe, ready for the supplier to remove its meter if you choose.

Yes. In a large block, the board inside your flat is normally your responsibility, while the meter room and rising mains belong to the building. We check access arrangements with the managing agent before the day and fit the new board at our normal fixed price. Your Electrical Installation Certificate is emailed within 48 hours, and we can send a copy to the agent for their records.

Almost always. A board of that age usually has rewirable or early cartridge fuses, no RCD protection and an enclosure that falls short of today's standards. Replacing it puts every circuit under RCD protection, adds surge protection and gives you a full test of the original wiring, so you know whether any of it needs attention. A dual RCD 10 way board is £495.

Usually at the start. If the rest of the house is to be rewired in stages, a new board gives each finished floor a safe, protected place to connect, and you are not running new circuits from an old fuse box in the meantime. We leave clearly labelled spare ways for the floors still to come, and the installation is tested and certified when the board goes in.
