A modern consumer unit is one of the most important electrical safety upgrades for any home. Many properties in Dartford still operate with outdated fuse boards that were never designed to cope with modern electrical demand. We replace old units with modern consumer units featuring RCD or RCBO protection, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock and electrical fires. A new fuse board also improves reliability, reduces nuisance tripping and ensures your electrical system complies with current regulations.
Outdated or ageing wiring can present serious safety risks and limit how your home can be used. Our full and partial house rewiring services upgrade electrical systems to modern standards, improving safety, capacity and usability. Whether you’re renovating, extending or moving into an older property, rewiring ensures your electrics are reliable and ready for modern living. All rewiring work is carefully planned to minimise disruption and completed with full testing and certification.
