Consumer Unit Upgrades & Fuse Board Replacement
Assessment and replacement of older fuse boards with modern consumer units suited to the installation.
Quick answer
A consumer-unit upgrade replaces an older fuse board with modern protective equipment selected for the property and circuits. The work can improve fault protection, circuit isolation and surge protection, but the existing installation must first be assessed so the correct design and scope can be agreed.
01
Before replacement
A new board should not be treated as a cosmetic swap. We review the existing installation, circuit arrangement, earthing and accessible condition before confirming the appropriate solution.
- Existing board and protective devices
- Approximate circuit count and labelling
- Earthing and bonding arrangements
- Evidence of existing defects or unsuitable alterations
02
Consumer unit guide prices
Guide prices start from £650 for an up-to-10-way dual-RCD unit and £750 for an RCBO-only consumer unit. Final pricing depends on the existing installation, circuit count and site conditions.
03
Completion
Circuits are tested, the new board is labelled and appropriate certification is provided. Any unexpected defects are discussed before additional work proceeds.
Planning a consumer-unit replacement locally
We assess fuse-board replacements in Camberwell, Peckham, Nunhead and East Dulwich, as well as suitable projects elsewhere in our South London service area. Please send the property postcode and clear photographs of the existing board and its circuit labels, where these can be taken safely without removing covers.
Include any existing EICR and tell us about planned additions or refurbishment. The condition of the circuits and earthing affects the scope: replacing the board alone does not resolve every wiring defect. The guide prices on this page remain subject to assessment and an agreed quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. Age alone does not define safety. The condition, protective devices, earthing and intended work all need to be considered.
An RCD may protect a group of circuits, while an RCBO provides residual-current and overcurrent protection to an individual circuit.
Photographs can help with an initial assessment, but a site visit or further checks may still be needed before a fixed quotation.
