Residential
Someone lives here. That changes how the work is done.
A home has no site office, no shutdown window and no tolerance for mess. Residential work is organised around the household: what has to stay on, which rooms are needed, when the children are home, and how much of the wall has to come off.
Consumer unit replacement
Working in an occupied home
Four commitments that matter more than the price line.
- Power planned, not lost
- Where a supply interruption is unavoidable, you know the day and the length before we start. Fridges and home working are not a surprise variable.
- Dust and floors
- Chasing and drilling are contained and protected. Rooms are left usable at the end of each day, not at the end of the job.
- Explained, not assumed
- You are shown what was found and told why it matters, in language that does not require a wiring regulation on the table.
- Documented for later
- A labelled board and a written record means the next person working on your home starts from fact rather than guesswork.

Load additions
Modern homes ask more of old boards.
Vehicle charging, induction cooking, heat pumps and home offices all arrived after most consumer units were installed. Before any of them is added, the question is whether the supply, the board and the earthing arrangement can carry it — not which product to buy.
Not sure whether it needs an electrician?
Describe the symptom. If it is a fitting you can safely replace yourself, we will say so. If it points at something in the wall or at the board, we will explain what assessment involves before you commit to anything.
