Why Medway

Local engineers, not a subcontracted callout

01

Minimal downtime

Most upgrades are completed within a single day, with power restored circuit by circuit as work finishes.

02

RCBO protection as standard

Individual circuit protection rather than a single RCD covering everything — a nuisance trip on one circuit doesn't take out the rest.

03

Old board removed and certified

Full certification on completion, old unit removed and disposed of responsibly.

Common questions

Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Upgrades in Medway — FAQ

Do I need a new consumer unit if mine still works?

Older plastic-enclosure boards are often flagged on an EICR even if functioning — current guidance favours metal enclosures for fire safety.

How long is the power off?

Circuits are typically restored progressively through the day rather than all being off for the full duration.

Does this affect my insurance?

An outdated board can be flagged by insurers; an upgrade with current certification usually resolves that.
