Fuse Board Upgrade in Solihull — Replace Your Consumer Unit in a Day

From £450, completed in one day, fully certified under Part P. Call JM Sparks Electrical LTD: 07307100400

Is Your Fuse Board Letting You Down?

Old fuse boards cause problems. Fuses that blow repeatedly, a board with no RCD protection, or one that trips everything off at once — these aren't just annoying. They're safety risks.

JM Sparks Electrical LTD replaces outdated fuse boards with modern consumer units across Solihull, Birmingham, and the West Midlands. The work is done in a single day, with minimal disruption, and fully certified under Part P of the Building Regulations.

Signs You Need a New Consumer Unit

  • Your fuse board uses old-style ceramic fuses or rewireable fuses
  • It trips off regularly — especially when you add new appliances
  • There's no RCD protection — you won't see a test button on the board
  • It's in a wooden enclosure (now prohibited under current regulations)
  • You're selling or renting your property (an EICR will often flag an outdated board)
  • You're having an EV charger or solar panels installed
  • Your home was built or last rewired more than 25 years ago

What's Included in a Fuse Board Upgrade

  • Full replacement with a modern dual RCD consumer unit
  • All circuits reconnected and labelled clearly

  • Installation tested to BS 7671:2018 (18th Edition)

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a fuse board upgrade take?

Most standard domestic upgrades are completed in one day. We arrive in the morning and have your power back on before we leave.

Will my power be off all day?

Your supply will be isolated while we do the replacement. Most customers are without power for 3–5 hours.

Do I need to notify building control?

Yes — but we handle that for you. We notify your local authority on your behalf and provide the compliance certificate.

Can I get this as a landlord?

Yes. We work with landlords regularly. We can combine the upgrade with an EICR inspection if needed.
