Consumer Unit Upgrades

Guildford, Weybridge & Across Surrey

If your fuseboard’s looking a bit dated — or you’re not sure it’s safe — I can help. I’m Andy, a local NICEIC-registered electrician working across Guildford, Weybridge, Kingston-upon Thames, and surrounding parts of Surrey.

I specialise in upgrading old fuseboxes with modern, fully compliant consumer units that offer much better safety, protection, and peace of mind.

Why Might You Need a New Consumer Unit?

If your current board uses old-style fuses or has no RCD protection, it’s likely not meeting current electrical standards. You might need an upgrade if:

  • You’re having an EV charger or new circuit installed

  • You’re planning a rewire or extension

  • You’ve failed an EICR inspection

  • Or you just want to bring your electrics up to date

Modern consumer units provide better protection against electric shocks, fire risks, and faults — including RCBOs and surge protection as standard.

What’s Included in a Consumer Unit Upgrade?

  • Safe removal of your old fuseboard

  • New metal-clad 18th Edition-compliant consumer unit

  • RCBOs for individual circuit protection

  • Surge protection device (SPD) fitted as required

  • Full testing of all circuits before and after

  • Certification and Building Control notification via NICEIC

My Approach

I take pride in doing things properly — no shortcuts, no rush jobs. I’ll talk you through what’s needed, check all your existing wiring, and leave everything tidy, labelled, and properly signed off.

If needed, I’ll also upgrade meter tails, local bonding, or sort out any hidden faults that might not show up at first glance — but I’ll always explain things clearly and only recommend work that genuinely needs doing.
