Fuse Board Replacement & Consumer Unit Upgrades
​​Upgrade to a Safer, More Reliable Electrical System
If your home or business has an old fuse board, it may not meet current UK electrical safety standards. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit with RCD (Residual Current Device) protection ensures your electrics are safe, compliant, and capable of handling modern appliances.
At Bradley Electrical Solutions, we offer professional fuse board replacements and consumer unit upgrades across Surrey, London, Hampshire & Berkshire. Our fully qualified electricians ensure your new system meets the latest 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
(BS 7671).

Do You Need a Fuse Board Upgrade?
Many older properties in the UK still have outdated fuse boards that pose a higher risk of electrical fires, shocks, and power failures. You may need a fuse board replacement if:
-
Your fuse board trips frequently – This could mean it’s overloaded or faulty.
-
You don’t have RCD protection – RCDs shut off power instantly if a fault is detected, preventing electric shocks.
-
You notice burning smells or scorch marks – These are signs of overheating or faulty wiring.
-
You still have rewirable fuses – These older systems are less safe and harder to reset than modern circuit breakers.
-
Your electrics haven’t been checked in years – If your system is outdated, it may no longer be compliant with UK regulations.
