Whether your Sleaford home is one of the older properties near the Market Place or an established house on the Southfields estates, an ageing fuse box is often the one weak point in an otherwise sound installation. A board with rewireable fuses or no safety switches cannot catch faults the way a modern one does. A new consumer unit cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, protecting you from shock and the building from electrical fire.
We test every circuit before the changeover so there are no surprises, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, give each circuit its own protection, label it clearly and walk you round the new board before we leave. Most upgrades are done in a day with only a few hours of power off. It is tested to the 18th Edition wiring regulations, we are City and Guilds qualified with 30 years behind us, and you get one fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Circuits tested first
Every circuit is inspected and tested before the swap, so hidden faults are found and priced honestly up front rather than sprung on you.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole property.
Surge protection built in
Your TVs, computers and appliances are protected from damaging power spikes as standard on every board we fit.
Your questions, answered
Do I need a new consumer unit?
If yours has rewireable fuses, no safety switches or signs of overheating, it is worth upgrading. If it is fine we will say so, because we never sell a board you do not need.
How long is the power off?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the changeover so disruption to your Sleaford home stays as short as possible.
Why would a new board trip more than the old one?
Because it catches faults the old one silently ignored, which is exactly the protection you want. We test every circuit at changeover so anything it flags is found and fixed properly.
