Consumer Unit & Fuseboard Upgrades in Orpington
Orpington and the villages around it, Petts Wood, St Mary Cray, Green Street Green and Chelsfield, have a good spread of older housing where the original fuseboard is still doing the job it was fitted to do decades ago. A rewireable fuse board or an early plastic consumer unit simply does not offer the same level of circuit-by-circuit protection as a modern RCBO unit, and replacing it brings the whole installation up to a safer, more current standard.
Reasons for booking the work vary. Landlords in Orpington often get in touch after an EICR has flagged the existing board, homeowners sometimes need it resolved during a purchase or sale, and others are simply reacting to warning signs, breakers tripping more than usual, an old fuse-wire board, or a unit that is noticeably warm. Whatever the trigger, the board is assessed first so the scope and price are clear before any work is booked in.
As every property is different, pricing for an Orpington consumer unit upgrade depends on the number of circuits and the state of the existing board, so we quote after assessing the property, either in person or from photos submitted in advance. Enquiries and quotes are provided without obligation.
