Consumer Unit Upgrades in Canterbury
Board changes in Canterbury come with a wrinkle you don't get elsewhere: in the older city-centre and Wincheap property, where the board sits and how the tails are routed is often constrained by the building itself. Cupboards under original staircases, meter positions in awkward hallways and listed fabric you can't cut into all shape what's actually possible. In student lets around the university and St Dunstan's the driver is different again — high occupancy and heavy appliance loads mean RCBOs are worth the extra, because one tenant's faulty kettle shouldn't put the whole house in the dark.

“Called Gary at 4am he was at my house for 5am and stopped the leak from doing any further damage and arranged for the repair to be carried out by a plumber. Had him back a few weeks later to find the problem with a socket in my garage that kept tripping. He rewired it all for me and now it works perfect.”
“I phoned him on a Saturday morning. He said could he pop round later and give us a quote. He checked everything and said the job was quite straightforward. The price was very reasonable and Gary said he could fit them there and then. Gary is very knowledgeable, he explained everything and carried out the work cleanly and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gary.”
“I had a problem with my lights, I had no lights in the house at all. Gary came over to the house and got all the electricity sorted for us in under an hour, so I have no problem recommending him and his company for any electrical issues. He was clean and tidy, good value, friendly and fast.”
“Gary has completed work for me a number of times, including fitting a new kitchen light, repairing a broken plug socket, fitting Hive, fitting alarm/security system and changing light switches to dimmer switches. He always completes work to a high standard.”
Fuse Board Upgrades in Canterbury — common questions
Can the board be moved during a Canterbury upgrade?
Sometimes, but it depends on the meter position and the length of the tails, and in listed property on what you're permitted to cut into. We look at it at survey and tell you what's realistic. Where the board has to stay in an awkward original position we make sure the new one is accessible and properly labelled regardless.
What's best for a Canterbury student let?
An RCBO board, in our view. With several tenants and a lot of appliances, a grouped-RCD board means one faulty item plunges the whole house into darkness — usually at night, usually resulting in a call-out you pay for. Individual RCBOs contain the fault to its own circuit and cut the number of avoidable emergency visits considerably.
Why upgrade my fuse board?
Older boards often lack RCD protection, which guards against electric shock and fire. A modern unit protects each circuit individually and meets current BS 7671 regulations.
How long does a consumer unit change take?
Most domestic board changes are completed within a day, including testing and certification.
