Newhey sits just beyond Milnrow on the edge of the moors, and a good number of its homes, from the older properties around the village to the houses out towards Haugh and Crook Moor, still have a consumer unit that has never been touched since the house was built. If yours still uses an old-style board with no RCD protection, or one that never seems to trip when something is clearly wrong, an upgrade is one of the most worthwhile safety improvements you can make.
A modern consumer unit gives every circuit in your Newhey home its own safety switch, so a fault on one circuit does not take out the whole house, and you get real protection against electric shock and fire. We test your circuits first, fit a good-quality board, label everything clearly and give you the certificate to prove the work is safe. As an NICEIC Approved Contractor based just up the road in Rochdale, we are quick to reach and reliable, whether it is Newhey, Ogden or out towards Piethorne.
Tested first
We check your circuits before the upgrade, so any hidden faults show up before we start, not after.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, plus surge protection if you want it for sensitive electronics.
Usually a one-day job
Most upgrades are done in a single day, with the power off for only part of that time.
