Consumer Unit Replacement & Socket Upgrades in Islington

Consumer unit replacement at a residential property in Islington

Improving Electrical Safety and Reliability in a Residential Property

Electricians 4 London recently carried out a consumer unit (fuseboard) replacement alongside socket upgrades at a residential property in Islington. The existing fuseboard was outdated and no longer compliant with current electrical safety standards, making an upgrade essential to protect both the property and its occupants.

Modern electrical demands require reliable protection, and upgrading older installations is a key step in improving safety, performance, and long-term dependability.

Why the Fuseboard Upgrade Was Necessary

During our assessment, we identified that the existing fuseboard no longer met current regulations and lacked the protection required for modern household usage. Older fuseboards can increase the risk of electrical faults and provide insufficient protection against overloads and faults.

The upgrade delivered:

  • Improved electrical safety

  • Enhanced reliability of the electrical system

  • Compliance with current UK electrical standards

  • Better protection for existing and new circuits

Coordinated Electrical Works with Minimal Disruption

This project required careful coordination between estate agents and tenants. Our team is highly experienced in managing residential works where multiple parties are involved.

We ensured:

  • Clear communication with estate agents and occupants

  • Efficient scheduling of appointments

  • Timely access to the property

  • Minimal disruption to tenants’ daily routines

All works were completed on time and as planned, with a smooth handover once the installation was finished.

Socket Upgrades for Modern Living

Alongside the fuseboard replacement, we also completed socket upgrades throughout the property. Updating sockets improves usability, safety, and appearance—particularly in older homes where fittings may be worn or outdated.

These upgrades help ensure the electrical installation is fully aligned with modern living requirements.
