Huyton went up fast. The estates at Longview, Page Moss and Huyton Farm were built in the 1950s and 60s. A great many of those houses are still on a board that was only ever meant to run a few lights and a couple of sockets. Ask it to carry a modern kitchen, a shower and a tumble dryer and it either trips constantly or, worse, does not trip when it should.
A modern consumer unit cuts the supply in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong. We test every circuit before the changeover so any hidden fault is found and priced honestly rather than discovered halfway through, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard and label every way by hand. Most swaps are done inside a day.
Suited to the estates here
Post-war housing at Longview, Page Moss and Huyton Farm is most of what we do, so we know what is usually behind the board.
Tested before the swap
Every circuit tested first, so nothing hidden turns into an unexpected bill on the day.
Landlord work welcome
A large share of Huyton is rented. We can pair a board change with an EICR in one visit.
Your questions, answered
How much does a new fuse box cost in Huyton?
UK consumer unit replacements typically run between about £450 and £900, depending on the number of circuits and any remedial work needed to pass the tests. We confirm one fixed price for your board before starting.
How long will the power be off?
Usually a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan it so the house is back on as quickly as possible.
The new board keeps tripping. Why?
It is catching faults the old one ignored. That is what you are paying for. We test every circuit at changeover so anything it finds is dealt with then, not left for you.
Can you do it while the house is tenanted?
Yes. It is a few hours with the power off, so we agree a time with the tenant and keep the disruption short.
