Fuse Board Upgrades
Modern protection against shocks and fire
Your consumer unit (fuse board) is the heart of your electrical system. Old wooden-backed or plastic boards with rewireable fuses offer little protection against electric shock or fire. A modern metal-clad board with individual RCBO protection isolates faults instantly and keeps the rest of your home powered.
Everything covered, done to standard
RCBO Boards
Each circuit gets its own RCBO so a single fault never plunges the whole house into darkness.
Surge Protection
Type 2 SPDs guard sensitive electronics — boilers, TVs, computers — against power-line surges.
Pre-Upgrade Testing
We test existing circuits first so we can flag any issues before energising the new board.

Fuse Board Upgrades — your questions answered
Why should I upgrade my fuse board?
Older boards with rewireable fuses or a single RCD offer limited protection. A modern metal-clad consumer unit with individual RCBOs isolates faults instantly, protects against electric shock and fire, and means a single fault won’t cut power to the whole house. It’s often the single biggest safety improvement you can make.
How long does a fuse board upgrade take?
Most consumer unit replacements are completed in a single day. We test the existing circuits first, fit the new board, label everything clearly and issue your certificate before we leave.
What our customers say
Booked Brightwell to fit a 7kW charger and they sorted the whole grant claim for me. Tidy, on time and explained everything. The app setup was done before they left. Couldn’t fault them.
Full rewire on a lived-in house. They protected the carpets, cleaned up every day and the making-good was spot on. Certificate came through two days later. Genuinely premium service.
Had the whole ground floor fitted with downlights and some extra sockets. The finish is immaculate — you’d never know walls had been chased. Polite, careful and great value.
