Speak directly to MartinYour electrical installation
A consumer unit upgrade needs to suit the circuits it supplies. Martin checks the existing installation and discusses any issues that need attention before agreeing the work.
The starting point is understanding the current consumer unit, the circuits it serves and the condition of the installation. Previous reports and photographs can help with an initial conversation, followed by the checks needed on site.
Martin explains the proposed arrangement, access requirements and any additional work identified during assessment. Mention future plans such as an extension, new kitchen or EV charger so these can be considered.
The installation is tested as part of the work, with the relevant certification and an explanation of the new equipment. You can ask about the controls, circuit identification and any further recommendations for the property.
From first conversation to handover
Replacing a consumer unit involves planned interruption to the electrical supply. Martin will discuss the sequence, likely disruption and access to circuits before starting. If an existing wiring issue needs additional work, he will explain it and agree the next steps with you. Share any essential equipment requirements when making your enquiry.
