Fusebox Replacement
We are often asked to replace an old fusebox in a customer’s house.
Sometimes this one fusebox that is no longer satisfactory (for example old ones with a wooden back) or a selection of fuseboxes that have been added to in a random fashion over the years.
We generally do this on a package deal basis including all that is needed to test the system, replace the fusebox, and leave the installation in a safe and satisfactory condition
We provide a written quotation for the work, which usually takes a day, and includes:-
- A brand new consumer unit from a top quality manufacturer (generally either MK or MEM), correctly labelled with each circuit description.
- A complete test of the existing electrical system.
- Upgrades to the earthing and bonding arrangements to meet current regulations.
- Any minor running repairs that we can complete in the day (see also urgent repairs below and the Remedial Work section at the end of the document).
- A certificate covering the work done including a technical schedule of all the circuits
Naturally any problems which are immediately dangerous (for example a broken box where the live conductor is exposed) will be identified on the day and urgent action agreed to make the situation safe.
Unless otherwise stated our package includes two engineers for a day, one to change the board and one to do the testing and any minor repairs that be covered in the time. Where we identify issues that need fixing beyond the time available we will report to you. Should you wish us to go ahead with remedial work we will follow up as soon as possible to bring the installation up to standard. |
