Consumer Unit & Fuse Box Upgrades in Motherwell
Plenty of Motherwell housing is still running on a board that was fitted decades ago, and a fair number on original rewireable fuses. An old fuse box can let a fault carry on. A modern consumer unit cuts the power in a fraction of a second, so a fault stays a fault instead of becoming a fire or a shock, and everyone in the house is protected the moment something goes wrong.
We test every circuit before the swap rather than after, because on older installations a new board occasionally reveals a problem that was always there. Finding it first means you get an honest price up front instead of a phone call halfway through. We fit a quality unit with surge protection, label every circuit clearly and walk you through it before we leave.

Your questions, answered
How much does a new fuse box cost?
UK market rates are usually around £450 to £800 fitted, depending on the number of circuits and any remedial work needed first. We price yours after seeing it.
How long will the power be off?
Usually a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the changeover to keep the disruption as short as possible.
Do I have to upgrade?
Not always, but if yours has rewireable fuses or no safety switch it is well behind current standards. We will tell you straight what it needs.
