Consumer unit replacement in Springhead
- 01
Selling or buying a home
An old fuse board is one of the things surveyors and buyers notice most. It can lead to questions or a lower offer. If you're selling in Springhead, replacing it early, with the certificates ready to hand over, can stop it becoming an issue later.

When an EICR flags the board
An old board with no RCD protection is often coded C2 on an EICR, which makes the report unsatisfactory. For landlords, that means the work must be done within 28 days. Replacing the board usually clears the code, as long as the circuits test well.

Reading the new labels
Each device in a new consumer unit is labelled with the circuit it controls, such as kitchen sockets or upstairs lights. A circuit chart sits inside the cover. It means anyone can find and switch off the right circuit quickly if there's a problem.
Arranging a consumer unit replacement in Springhead
Springhead is a short drive from our base. We start with a visit to look at the board, the earthing and the circuits. If you have a recent EICR, send it to us, as it shows what the inspector found. Then you get a free quote.
The replacement usually takes most of a day with the power off for much of it. We fit the new unit, test and label every circuit and give you the certificate. If you're selling, we can send copies straight to your solicitor.
Useful to send us
- A photo of your current board
- Your latest EICR if you have one
- Your sale or tenancy dates
- Any circuits that trip
- Your solicitor's details if selling

Consumer unit replacement in Springhead: questions
Will an old fuse box affect selling my house in Springhead?
It can. Buyers' surveyors often flag old fuse boards, and some buyers ask for a price reduction or for the board to be replaced. Replacing it before you sell, and having the certificates ready, removes that question from the sale.
My EICR in Springhead says the fuse board needs replacing. What now?
Send us the report and we'll look at the codes. Usually the board is coded C2 for having no RCD protection. We quote for the replacement and any other items listed, and once the work is done we give you written confirmation for your records and your tenants.
What's the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit in Springhead?
They do the same job, but a fuse box uses wire fuses that melt when a circuit is overloaded. A modern consumer unit uses circuit breakers and RCDs, which react faster, protect against electric shock and can simply be reset.
How do I find my building regulations certificate in Springhead?
After we register a consumer unit replacement, the certificate is posted to the property a few weeks later. If you've lost it, the scheme the electrician is registered with can often provide a copy. Your local council's building control team may also have a record.
