Chellaston sits right next to our Boulton Moor base, so a fuse box upgrade here is one of the quickest jobs for us to book in. Your consumer unit is the heart of your home's electrics, and a modern board cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, protecting you from a shock and your home from an electrical fire. Plenty of the established semis and detached homes around the village centre still have older boards that are well worth upgrading, while even newer estate homes sometimes want surge protection adding.
We test every circuit before the changeover so there are no surprises, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, label everything clearly and walk you round the new unit before we leave. The work is tested and certified, and being NAPIT registered we notify it to Building Control for you. Most swaps are finished in a day with only a short break in your power, and you get one fixed price agreed before we start.
Circuits tested first
Every circuit inspected before the swap, so hidden faults are found and priced honestly up front.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole house.
Finished in a day
Most changeovers are done inside a day with only a short break in your power, tested and certified.
Your questions, answered
How long will my power be off?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the changeover so the disruption to your Chellaston home is as short as possible.
Why does my new board trip when the old one didn't?
Modern boards catch faults the old one silently ignored. That's the protection you're paying for. We test every circuit at changeover, so anything it flags is found and put right.
Do I really need a new fuse box?
If yours has rewireable fuses, a wooden back or no safety switches, it's worth upgrading. If yours is fine, we'll tell you so. We'll never sell you a board you don't need.
