Consumer unit replacement (fuseboards)
Bring the appliance list to the board discussion
A refurbished kitchen, utility room and home office can introduce several changes at once. Consumer unit replacement in Chiswick should consider those requirements together with the existing installation. PEP reviews the circuits, their condition and the intended additions before proposing a replacement. An empty position in a board is not enough information to decide whether a new appliance can be connected; the wider electrical arrangement matters too.
01
Allow for known changes without guessing
If a later building phase is already defined, tell us about it. The planned circuit schedule and physical board arrangement can then be considered with that project in mind. We distinguish confirmed requirements from possible future ideas, so the quotation has a clear basis. Any necessary work to the existing wiring or associated installation is described separately from the consumer unit itself.
02
Leave a circuit schedule you can use
A replacement should make the installation easier for the homeowner to understand. We label the agreed circuits, complete the required testing for the work and explain the new arrangement at handover. Supply interruption is planned in advance, with time allowed for the checks rather than promising an arbitrary fitting duration. Where rewiring is also needed, the board change can form part of a coordinated installation programme.

Your questions
Planning the work
Should I replace the board before building the extension?
The timing should follow the electrical plan. We assess the existing supply and proposed circuits so the board change and extension works are ordered sensibly.
Can the fuse box be chosen from a photograph alone?
A photograph helps prepare the discussion, but it cannot establish the condition of the circuits or all the installation requirements. The final specification needs an assessment.
Tell us about the property, the work you have in mind and your intended programme. We will help establish the next step and the information needed for a clear quotation.
