How It Works

Our Process

01

Safe Inspection

We inspect the consumer unit for visible damage, smell, heat, discolouration and loose connections, using thermal imaging to detect hidden hotspots.

02

Circuit Testing

We test every circuit for continuity, insulation resistance, polarity and earth loop impedance to identify whether the fault is in the board or the circuit wiring.

03

Targeted Repair

We tighten connections, replace faulty devices, repair cable entries or seal enclosures safely, following lock-out procedures where required.

04

Final Verification

We re-test every circuit after repair, verify RCD function and provide a detailed report of the fault and the repair carried out.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is a burning smell from my fuse box an emergency?

Yes. A burning smell indicates overheating connections or components which can lead to fire. Switch off the main switch if safe to do so and call us immediately on 07495 600382.

Can you repair an old fuse box or does it need replacing?

Some faults in old fuse boxes can be repaired, such as loose connections or cable damage. However, if the board lacks RCD protection, has asbestos backing or is generally deteriorated, we usually recommend a modern consumer unit upgrade.

Why does my fuse box buzz or hum?

Buzzing or humming from a consumer unit usually indicates loose connections, a faulty breaker or arcing. It is a sign of a developing fault that should be investigated promptly to prevent fire or failure.
