Consumer Unit Upgrades · Buckinghamshire
RCBO Fuse Board Upgrades — Iver
Reliable consumer unit upgrade across Iver and the surrounding Buckinghamshire villages within a practical service radius.
The Iver coverage area we work in most weeks stretches into Iver Heath, Denham and Uxbridge. Journey times from our base in High Wycombe (HP11) are short enough that same-week visits are the norm rather than the exception. The work itself — consumer unit upgrade — is one of the things we take on for domestic customers day-to-day, not a sideline.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.

Talk to a local electrician
We're based in High Wycombe HP11 and regularly working in Iver and the surrounding Iver Heath and Denham area. Small firm — you'll speak to the person doing the consumer unit upgrade.
How we approach fuse board replacements
- 1
Circuit survey
We open the existing unit, identify every circuit and note the cable sizes, insulation condition and any bonding gaps.
- 2
Quote and product choice
You get an itemised quote showing the brand of unit, number of RCBOs and any surge protection or AFDDs included.
- 3
Book power-down window
We agree a mutually workable window for the changeover, usually 4–8 hours, so you can plan around freezers and remote working.
- 4
Replacement and test
The old board comes out, new metal-clad unit goes in, and every circuit is tested to the current edition of BS 7671.
- 5
Certification
You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate covering the new board and the tested circuits behind it.
Questions we get asked most
- Will the board be tested afterwards?
- Yes. Every circuit is dead-tested and live-tested, and the results are recorded on your certificate.
- How long will the power be off?
- Typically 4–8 hours for a straight swap. We isolate individual circuits earlier so freezers and boilers can stay on until the last moment where practical.
- Do I need RCBOs on every circuit?
- Not always, but individual RCBOs mean one fault doesn't take the whole house out. We'll walk you through the trade-off before quoting.
- What if the earthing needs upgrading?
- We'll quote the main earthing and bonding upgrade separately if the existing supply is undersized.
