If your Rochdale home still has an old fuse board with rewireable fuses, the sort where you replace a strip of fuse wire when something trips, it is well past its best. Old fuse boards give none of the fast, sensitive protection a modern board does, and many have no RCD at all, which is the safety device that protects you from a serious electric shock. Replacing it is a straightforward job that makes a real difference to how safe your home is.
We replace fuse boards across Rochdale, from period terraces to family homes, swapping the old board for a modern consumer unit with a safety switch on every circuit. We test the wiring first, fit a good-quality board, label every circuit clearly and give you the certificate to prove it. As an NICEIC Approved Contractor the work is done to the current regulations, usually within a day.

Your questions, answered
Do I need to replace my old fuse board?
If it uses rewireable fuses or has no RCD protection, it does not meet today's safety standards. Replacing it is one of the best safety upgrades you can make, and we test the wiring first to be sure everything is sound.
Is it a big, messy job?
No. Replacing the board is usually a single day, focused on the board itself, so there is very little mess.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. You get an Electrical Installation Certificate as proof the work is safe and to the current regulations.
