Older stone houses in Clearwell often still run on a fuse box that was fitted decades ago. It will usually still be working, which is why people leave it. What it will not do is give you the protection a modern consumer unit does, and that is the part that matters.
On a period property we always test the circuits before quoting. Old wiring behind stone walls can hide faults an old fuse box tolerated quite happily, and a new board with sensitive protection will find them. Testing first means the price we give you holds. Most swaps are a day's work with the power off for a few hours, and the certificate and notification are handled at the end.
Tested before quoted
Period wiring hides things. We test first so the price does not move once the old board is off the wall.
Careful with the fabric
Older stone deserves a bit of thought about where the new board goes and how it is fed. We plan it with you.
Certified and notified
NAPIT approved and TrustMark registered, so all the paperwork is handled for you.
Your questions, answered
Can the new board go where the old one was?
Usually yes, and that is normally the tidiest answer. If it is somewhere awkward we will suggest alternatives before the day.
What if the old wiring will not take a new board?
We would tell you before starting. Sometimes a partial rewire is the honest answer and we would rather say so than fit a board onto wiring that cannot support it.
Does a listed building change anything?
It can affect where things are fixed and how they are run. Mention it when you call and we will plan around it.
