— ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Electrical Board Installation and Replacement
We install and replace consumer units (electrical boards) for domestic and light commercial properties throughout Milton Keynes. Whether you have an old-style rewirable fuse board, a unit with no RCD protection or a board that keeps tripping, our qualified team will assess what you need, supply the correct unit and complete the installation with full testing and certification. All work is carried out to BS 7671 18th Edition and notified through Part P where required.
— OUR PROCESS
How It Works
Assessment and Recommendation
We inspect the existing board, assess circuit loading, check earthing and bonding arrangements and recommend the correct replacement unit for your property size and usage.
Disconnection, Supply and Installation
We isolate the supply, remove the old unit, install the new consumer unit and reconnect all circuits with correct labelling, cable management and earth bonding.
Testing, Certification and Notification
All circuits are tested on completion. We provide an Electrical Installation Certificate and submit Part P notification to Building Control as required.

Why Choose us for Electrical Board Installation and Replacement
Modern RCD and RCBO Protection
New consumer units provide far superior protection against electric shock and fire compared to older rewirable fuse boards — a direct upgrade in safety for the whole property.
Insurance and Mortgage Compliance
Many insurers and mortgage lenders now require modern consumer units. An up-to-date board with full certification removes this risk during valuations and renewals.
Completed in a Single Visit
In most cases we can complete a consumer unit replacement in one day, including testing and issuing paperwork — minimal disruption with everything signed off before we leave.
Consumer unit replacement is often triggered by an EICR that identifies the existing board as unsatisfactory, an insurance renewal or a house purchase where the buyer's surveyor flags the installation. We handle all of these scenarios regularly and are familiar with what lenders and insurers require. Replacement units are supplied from leading UK manufacturers and configured to match the circuits in your property, with correct labelling throughout. We also upgrade earthing arrangements and main bonding as part of the works where these don't meet current standards, ensuring the whole installation is compliant — not just the board.
