Consumer unit replacement (fuseboards)
Establish what the main consumer unit supplies
A St John’s Wood home may have a straightforward single-board installation or equipment added during earlier projects. PEP assesses that arrangement before proposing consumer unit replacement. We establish the relevant circuits and any connections to other distribution equipment, using the available records and the installation itself. The scope should explain exactly which board is being replaced and how the work relates to the rest of the property.
01
Consider agreed changes to the household demand
Tell us about planned kitchen equipment, refurbished rooms or other confirmed electrical work. These requirements help shape the circuit schedule and replacement discussion. Existing wiring and associated installation conditions still need assessment; fitting a new fuseboard is not equivalent to renewing the complete electrical system. Any additional work, relocation or changes around the mounting position are described as part of the quotation.
02
Coordinate isolation, testing and owner handover
We agree access to the working area and the expected interruption before the installation date. The job includes the testing and documentation appropriate to the agreed work, with clear circuit identification. At handover, the owner receives an explanation of the installed arrangement and the boundaries of the replacement. Where a whole-house rewire is also planned, the board decision can be integrated into that wider programme.

Your questions
Planning the work
Does replacing the main board include every other board in the house?
Only if those items are part of the agreed scope. We assess the distribution arrangement and identify the equipment and circuits included in the quotation.
Can the replacement be specified before all new appliances are chosen?
We can begin the discussion, but confirmed equipment requirements help finalise the circuit plan. Changes to that brief should be reviewed before installation.
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.
