Expert Consumer Unit Replacement Across London

A consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system, controlling and protecting the circuits throughout your property. In London, where homes range from period terraces to modern apartments, many properties still rely on outdated fuse boards that no longer meet current safety standards. At Pretty Wired, we provide professional consumer unit replacement services in London, helping homeowners and landlords upgrade their electrical systems safely and compliantly.

Replacing an old consumer unit is one of the most effective ways to improve electrical safety. Modern units are designed to respond more quickly to faults, reducing the risk of electric shock, fire and damage to appliances.

When Is It Time to Replace Your Consumer Unit?

Many London properties still have fuse boards installed from decades ago. While these may still function, they often lack the protective devices required by modern regulations. Signs that it may be time for a replacement include frequent tripping, visible wear, difficulty resetting circuits or a lack of RCD protection.

Even if no obvious issues are present, a consumer unit replacement is often recommended during renovations, extensions or when significant electrical upgrades are planned. Upgrading ensures your system can safely support modern electrical demand.

Our Approach to Consumer Unit Replacement

At Pretty Wired, we take a structured and considered approach to every consumer unit replacement. We begin by assessing your existing electrical installation to confirm compatibility and identify any issues that need to be addressed before work begins.

Once the new consumer unit is installed, we carry out full testing to ensure all circuits are operating safely and correctly. We also label circuits clearly and explain how the new system works, so you feel confident managing it day to day.
