Coalway is a village built on old mining ground, and a fair number of its houses still carry wiring older than it ought to be. That usually means the fuse box too. Rewirable fuses and early plastic boards were normal once. They do not give the protection a modern consumer unit does, and they are the most common serious finding on a safety report.
We test the circuits before we quote. On older Coalway wiring that matters, because a modern board with sensitive protection will pick up faults the old one put up with quietly. Once we know what is there you get one fixed price. Most swaps take a day, the power is off for a few hours in the middle, and the certificate and notification are sorted at the end without you chasing.
Old wiring tested first
Coalway houses often have decades of additions. We test before we price so the quote holds.
Done in a day
Most swaps take a single day, with power off for a few hours around the middle of it.
Minutes away
Coalway is a short run from our base, so booking and any follow up is quick.
Your questions, answered
My house is on old mining ground, does that affect the earthing?
It can affect what earthing arrangement you have. We check it as part of the job and tell you if anything needs improving.
Is a new fuse box worth it if I am not selling?
Yes. The protection it adds is the point, not the paperwork. It is the cheapest real safety improvement on most older installations.
What if my wiring is too old for a new board?
We would tell you before starting. Sometimes a rewire, or a partial one, is the honest answer and we will say so rather than take the smaller job.
