Fuse Box Replacement in Worthing

Yes. In most converted houses each flat has its own meter and consumer unit, so we can replace yours without touching the others. We will check the earthing and the tails from your meter, because in older conversions these are sometimes shared or undersized. If anything on the landlord or communal side needs attention, we explain it clearly so you can raise it with the freeholder or agent.

Not necessarily. Many interwar houses in Goring and Ferring were rewired at some point, even if the fuse box was left in place. We test every circuit when we fit a new board, and if the cabling insulation is in good order the new unit can go straight on. If a circuit fails testing we tell you before going further, so there are no surprises on the price.

You do not apply yourself. A consumer unit change is notifiable work under Part P, and because we are Part P registered we notify Building Control on your behalf. You then receive a Building Regulations compliance certificate along with the Electrical Installation Certificate, which we email within 48 hours of finishing.

Ask the seller or agent for a photo of the consumer unit and send it to us by text on 0333 360 8691. We can tell you what it is and give a fixed price to replace it, which can help with negotiations. In purpose built blocks the board is usually inside the flat, but the supply may come from a shared intake, which we check.

Often it is not. Extensions usually add circuits, and older boards run out of spare ways or end up with several circuits doubled onto one breaker. A 10 way dual RCD board is £495 and a 12 way high integrity board is £575, which gives room for the extra circuits plus a spare for anything you add later, such as an EV charger.
