Fuse Board Upgrades in Earl’s Court, London | Electricians4London

At Electricians4London, we recently completed a professional fuse board upgrade in Earl’s Court, SW5, as part of our ongoing commitment to improving electrical safety and performance in London’s residential properties. Outdated fuse boards can pose serious safety risks and often fail to meet modern standards. That’s why we offer fuse board replacement and upgrades, fully certified and compliant with the latest BS 7671 wiring regulations.

Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or property manager, our team delivers safe, efficient upgrades with minimal disruption.

For this particular property in Earl’s Court, our NICEIC-approved electricians carried out the following work:

1. Removal of Outdated Fuse Boxes

The property had two old-style fuse boxes using rewirable fuses. These units lacked RCD protection and were no longer compliant with current regulations. We carefully disconnected and removed both boards, preparing the site for new installations.

2. Installation of Modern RCBO Consumer Units

We installed two dual RCD RCBO consumer units with full circuit protection. These modern fuse boards provide individual residual current and overload protection for every circuit, dramatically improving the overall safety of the installation.

3. Labeling & Circuit Identification

Each new fuse board was neatly labelled and documented, ensuring the client can easily identify and manage circuits in the future. This also simplifies fault-finding and future maintenance.

4. Testing & Certification

After installation, we carried out full insulation resistance, continuity, and RCD trip time tests on all circuits. The property passed all tests, and we issued an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) to the client.

5. Compliance & Notification

The works were notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, and we submitted all necessary documentation to the local authority on behalf of the client—saving them time and ensuring full legal compliance.
