from £700 inc VAT, fitted in a day
A new fuse board, the modern name is a consumer unit, starts from £700 inc VAT, fitted in a day. "Fuse board", "fusebox" and "consumer unit" all mean the same thing: the box that houses the protection for every circuit in your home. The exact price depends on the board you need and the condition of the existing wiring, which is why Aled asks a couple of quick questions, or takes a look at a photo of your current fusebox, before giving you a straight number rather than a vague "from".
What is included in the from-£700 price:
What can move the price is the property, not hidden fees: if the existing wiring, earthing or incoming supply needs attention before a modern board can go on safely, Aled tells you up front, in writing, before any work starts. Building-control notification is part of the job, not a hidden extra you have to chase.
What's involved
A consumer unit change is more than swapping a box on the wall. Done right, it is a tested, certified and notified job that leaves your whole installation safer than it was, here is how Aled runs it.
01
Health check first
Before anything is quoted, Aled checks what you actually have: the age and type of the board, the state of the wiring feeding it, and whether your incoming supply and earthing are up to a modern unit. No point fitting a new board onto problems it cannot fix.
02
Isolate and remove
On the day, the supply is isolated safely and the old board comes out. You get a realistic timescale for being without power, kept as short as possible, and the work area is kept tidy throughout.
03
Fit the new 18th-edition unit
A modern consumer unit with full RCBO protection and surge protection where required, wired in, with circuits clearly identified rather than left to guesswork.
04
Test, certify and notify
Every circuit is tested and recorded, you get the certificate, and the work is notified to building control through Aled's NAPIT registration. Power back on, board labelled, job signed off.
No surprises
Building-control notification is part of the job, not a hidden extra. If your wiring needs anything beyond the board itself, Aled tells you up front before any work starts.
A typical job
A common Bridgend or Pencoed job: a 1980s house with the original board, rewireable fuses or early MCBs, no RCD protection, and not a spare way left for the EV charger or extension the owner now wants. Aled swaps it for a fully loaded RCBO unit in a day, tests the lot, labels it, and leaves a certificate that an insurer, a buyer or a landlord's EICR will be happy with.

Aled did a great job testing our electrics and replacing our consumer unit. He was prompt and had excellent communication. We are already looking for him to do some more work. Highly recommend!
Renovolt Electrical Ltd fitted 2 new fuse boxes, outside wall lights, security lights and garden spotlights. Absolutely excellent job, really pleased and Aled was very professional. Would highly recommend!!
Excellent Service from Start to Finish! RenoVolt Electrical Ltd were brilliant throughout. Aled was punctual, professional, and really knows his stuff. The work was completed to a very high standard with great attention to detail, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. Communication was clear, pricing was fair, and the whole experience was stress-free. I’d highly recommend RenoVolt for any electrical work — reliable, friendly, and top-quality service!
Straight answers
Fuse board (consumer unit) upgrades start from £700 inc VAT, fitted in a day. The exact price depends on the board you need and the condition of the existing wiring, which is why Aled asks a couple of quick questions or takes a look at a photo before giving you a straight number.
Most domestic fuse board upgrades are a single-day job. Aled isolates the supply, fits the new board, tests every circuit, labels it clearly and gets your power back on the same day, with the certificate and building-control notification sorted.
Often, yes. An EV charger pulls a sustained, heavy load, and an older board without spare capacity or proper RCD protection may not cope safely. Aled checks the board free on every EV install, so if it does need doing you get one quote for both jobs in one visit.
An RCBO combines overload and earth-fault protection on one circuit. On a fully loaded RCBO board, a fault on one circuit trips only that circuit, instead of taking out half the house like an old split-load RCD board. It is the modern standard and what Aled fits.
Yes. A consumer unit change is notifiable work. As a NAPIT-registered electrician Aled self-certifies and notifies building control for you, it is included, not an extra you have to chase or pay for separately.
Rarely. Boards under stairs, in garages, in lofts or high on a wall are all routine. If the position itself is unsafe or against current regs, Aled will tell you and talk through the options before any work starts.
Three quick questions, or send a photo of your existing board, and Aled comes back with a real fitted price, by WhatsApp, text, email or a call.
