Fuse Board and Consumer Unit Upgrades in Wigan
If your fuse box still has pull-out fuses, a wooden back or no RCD protection, it was built for a very different home. We replace it with a modern consumer unit, test every circuit and certify the work.
Sound familiar?
Old rewireable fuses or a wooden backboard
These boards pre-date modern safety standards and offer little protection against electric shock.
Trips when the kettle or shower goes on
Repeated tripping can point to an overloaded or faulty circuit that needs looking at properly.
Scorch marks, buzzing or a burning smell
Switch off what you can and get it checked. Heat damage at the board is a warning sign.
What you get
- Visit to look at your existing board and wiring
- Fixed price quote before any work starts
- New consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit
- Surge protection where required
- Full testing of every circuit before the board goes live

A board change is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Using a registered electrician means it is tested, certified and notified properly, which matters for insurance and when you sell.

Fuse Board Upgrades: your questions answered
How long does a fuse board upgrade take?
Most are completed in a single day. Your power will be off for part of that day while we change over and test.
Why do I need RCD protection?
An RCD cuts the power in a fraction of a second if current leaks to earth, for example through a person. Older boards often have none.
What if the test finds problems with my circuits?
We will show you what we found and give you a fixed price to put it right before doing anything extra.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. You get an Electrical Installation Certificate and the work is notified to Building Control.
