Consumer Unit Upgrades For Landlords & Businesses

Safe, Compliant & Certificated Every Time

For landlords with properties across Oxford, an up-to-date consumer unit is not optional. Current electrical safety legislation requires rental properties to meet the standards set out in the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, and an outdated fuse board without adequate RCD protection will not pass an Electrical Installation Condition Report. Addressing this proactively is far simpler than dealing with a failed inspection.

We work with a large number of landlords, from those managing a single rental property to those with larger portfolios across Oxfordshire. Our team understands the importance of completing work efficiently and with minimal disruption to tenants, and we provide all relevant certifications promptly so you have everything you need for your records.

For commercial properties, the same standards apply. Whether you manage office premises, retail units or other commercial spaces, we can assess your existing consumer unit, advise on the most appropriate replacement and carry out the work to the highest standard. All commercial installations are fully insured and completed in line with current British Standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Fuse Board Services FAQs

In most cases, a standard fuse board replacement is completed within a day. Our team will isolate the power to carry out the work safely, which means you will be without electricity for a portion of the day, typically between three and five hours, depending on the complexity of the installation. We aim to complete all work as efficiently as possible and will give you clear expectations for timing before the job begins so you can plan accordingly.

This depends on the age and condition of your existing consumer unit. If your board is relatively modern, a repair or the replacement of a single circuit breaker may be all that is needed. However, if your board is older, lacks adequate RCD protection or does not meet current 18th Edition regulations, a full replacement is usually the more sensible and cost-effective long-term solution. Our team will assess your existing unit and give you an honest recommendation before any work is carried out.

Yes. Our team carry out consumer unit and distribution board replacements in commercial properties across Oxford. Commercial installations are subject to the same BS 7671 regulations and require the same level of certification on completion. Whether you manage a small office, a retail unit, or larger commercial premises, our team can assess your existing setup, recommend the right solution, and carry out the work with minimal disruption to your operations.

The clearest indicators that a fuse board may not meet current standards include the presence of rewirable fuses rather than circuit breakers, a wooden or plastic backboard rather than a metal enclosure, and the absence of RCD protection. If you are unsure, the most reliable approach is to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report carried out, which will assess your entire electrical installation and flag any areas that fall short of current requirements. Our team can carry this out and advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
