Consumer Unit & Fuseboard Upgrades in Sevenoaks

Sevenoaks and the surrounding villages, Otford, Riverhead, Dunton Green and Sundridge, include a fair number of older and period properties, many of which are still running on their original fuseboard. A rewireable fuse board or an early plastic consumer unit does not give the same level of protection as a modern RCBO unit, where each circuit is protected individually rather than sharing cover with the rest of the property.

Enquiries in the Sevenoaks area come from a range of situations, landlords responding to an EICR that is flagged the existing board, homeowners dealing with a requirement raised during a sale or mortgage application, and others simply noticing the board itself needs attention, whether that is frequent tripping, an old fuse-wire setup, or a unit that feels warm to the touch. On period properties in particular, the existing wiring and circuit layout are looked at carefully before anything is quoted, so there are no surprises once work begins.

Pricing for a Sevenoaks consumer unit upgrade reflects the number of circuits and the condition of what is already in place, so it is confirmed after an assessment of the property, either in person or from photos submitted in advance. Enquiries and quotes are provided without obligation.
