A good upgrade is more than a metal box swap: circuit labelling, earthing and bonding checks, and correct RCD/RCBO and surge strategy all matter. Where cables or circuits are not fit for a new board, we explain options before work starts so you are not surprised mid-job. Metal dual-RCD or all-RCBO boards are specified to suit the property and budget. After energising we test, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate for the work, and leave a tidy, labelled cupboard. Many domestic swaps complete in a day when circuits are healthy.

Consumer Unit Upgrade FAQ
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?+
Many domestic swaps complete in a day if circuits are healthy. Older or complex installs may need extra time—we confirm after survey.
Will I need a full rewire as well?+
Not always. The upgrade can proceed if circuits are satisfactory; we only recommend rewires or partial rewires where testing shows genuine defects.
Do you notify Building Control?+
Notifiable domestic work is handled under the appropriate Part P route by our qualified electricians, with certificates for your records and solicitor packs.
Should landlords upgrade boards after an unsatisfactory EICR?+
Often yes when C1/C2 issues relate to protection or the board condition. We align the upgrade scope to the EICR findings so spend is justified.
