Fuse box replacement in Woking
- 01
Signs your fuse box is due
Rewireable fuses with fuse wire, a wooden or plastic box with no RCDs, breakers that trip for no clear reason, scorch marks or a burning smell all suggest it's time. So does needing a new circuit for an EV charger, shower or extension that the old board can't take.

What a new consumer unit gives you
RCDs cut the power in a fraction of a second if current leaks to earth, which protects against electric shock and some fires. New boards in homes must have a non-combustible casing, usually metal, and most now include surge protection as well.

Checks before the swap
We check the main earth, the bonding to your gas and water pipes and the condition of the existing circuits. Old wiring sometimes has hidden faults that a new RCD will detect, so it's better to find them before the day rather than after.
What to expect from a fuse box replacement
We start with a visit to look at your current board, earthing and circuits, then give you a free quote that covers everything the job needs. We agree a date and let you know roughly how long the power will be off.
On the day, we switch off the supply, remove the old fuse box and fit the new consumer unit. Each circuit is connected, labelled and tested before the power goes back on. We then issue your Electrical Installation Certificate and notify building control through NAPIT.

Fuse Box Replacement questions
How long does a fuse box replacement take in a Woking home?
Most fuse box replacements in Woking homes take around a day, with the power off for part of it. Larger houses, extra circuits or faults found during testing can add time. We'll give you an idea of timings when we quote.
Is a fuse box replacement notifiable work in England?
Yes. Replacing a consumer unit is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. As NAPIT registered electricians, we notify building control for you, and you receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate as well as your installation certificate, so there's nothing extra for you to arrange.
What happens if a new RCD keeps tripping after the upgrade?
It usually means it has found a fault that the old fuses couldn't detect, such as damp in a junction box or a damaged cable. We test to find the circuit and the cause, explain it and price the repair before doing any extra work.
Do I need a fuse box replacement before fitting an EV charger in Woking?
Not always. An EV charger needs its own protected circuit, so we check whether your board has a spare way and the right protection. If it doesn't, replacing the fuse box at the same time is usually the simplest and tidiest option.
