Consumer unit and distribution board services
Modern boards improve electrical safety, reduce nuisance problems and help bring older installations up to a more practical standard.
RCBO boards
RCBO consumer units give individual circuit protection, helping reduce disruption if one circuit develops a fault.
Dual RCD boards
Dual RCD consumer units can be a cost-effective option for suitable domestic installations where the budget needs to be controlled.
3 phase DBs
3 phase distribution boards for commercial premises, workshops, larger supplies and properties needing more than a standard domestic board.
Garage units
Small garage consumer units for garages, sheds, outbuildings, garden rooms and workshop supplies where local protection is required.
Skeleton boards
Skeleton boards and mantel units can be ordered for awkward cupboard arrangements, older installations and replacement board situations.
Failed EICR upgrades
Consumer unit upgrades are often required after an unsatisfactory EICR where protection, condition or arrangement has been coded.
Surge protection
Surge protection can be included as part of a board upgrade where required or recommended for the installation.
Certification
Board changes are tested and documented properly so the owner, landlord or agent has the right paperwork for the property file.
A clear photo can turn it into a firm quote.
Consumer unit prices depend on the number of circuits, board type, condition of the existing wiring, access, earthing and whether extra work is needed. A clear photo of the existing board, meter area and surrounding space helps confirm the correct board and give a much firmer price before attendance.
Useful photos
Send one close-up of the existing board, one wider photo showing the meter and surrounding area, and any labels or circuit list visible on the cover.
RCBO, dual RCD and specialist boards
Different properties need different boards. BIM can advise on the practical option rather than forcing one board type onto every job.
RCBO consumer units
RCBO boards provide individual protection for each circuit. If one circuit trips, the rest of the installation is less likely to be affected. This is usually the cleaner modern option where budget allows.
Dual RCD consumer units
Dual RCD boards split the installation across two RCDs. They can be a more budget-friendly option for suitable domestic properties, although a fault on one circuit can affect several circuits on the same side.
3 phase distribution boards
3 phase DBs are used for larger supplies, commercial premises, workshops and installations with 3 phase equipment or distribution requirements. These are quoted based on the supply, circuits and intended use.
Skeleton boards and mantel units
Skeleton boards, sometimes called mantel units, are useful for certain older cupboard or meter arrangements where a standard enclosure is not the right fit. These are ordered to suit the installation.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about consumer unit replacement, fuse board upgrades and board quotes.
How much is a consumer unit replacement?
Consumer unit replacements start from £399. The final price depends on the number of circuits, board type, condition of the wiring, earthing, access and whether extra remedial work is needed.
Can you quote from a photo?
Yes. A clear photo of the existing board, meter area and surrounding space can often be enough to provide a firm quote or at least identify any likely issues before booking.
Should I choose an RCBO board or dual RCD board?
RCBO boards offer better circuit separation and are usually the preferred modern option. Dual RCD boards can be more cost-effective where suitable. The right choice depends on the property and budget.
Do you install garage consumer units?
Yes. Garage units can be installed for garages, sheds, garden rooms, workshops and outbuildings where a suitable supply and local protection are required.
Do you install 3 phase distribution boards?
Yes. 3 phase DBs can be supplied and installed for suitable commercial, workshop or larger electrical installations.
Can you supply skeleton boards or mantel units?
Yes. Skeleton boards and mantel units can be ordered where the existing arrangement requires a non-standard board solution.
