Cam, tucked below its landmark peak just north of Dursley, has a lot of postwar and former local-authority housing built along the valley, much of it still running on the fuse box it was built with. Boards from that era typically have rewireable fuses, no safety switches and sometimes a wooden backing, none of which offers the protection expected of a home today.
We test every circuit before the changeover so hidden faults are found and priced honestly, fit a quality consumer unit with surge protection and a safety switch on each circuit, and label the whole board clearly. Most Cam upgrades are finished in a single day, with the power off for only a few hours, and you are left with a full electrical certificate and the Building Control notification already taken care of.
Understands ex-local-authority wiring
We know the layout and typical age of Cam's postwar housing stock, so hidden issues are found rather than missed.
Protection on every circuit
A modern board gives each circuit its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole house.
Fitted in a day, certified same day
Most changeovers are done in a single visit, with the electrical certificate handed over before we leave.
Your questions, answered
How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Cam?
A consumer unit upgrade typically costs between £450 and £800, depending on the board and the number of circuits. We confirm one exact fixed price for your job before any work starts.
How do I know if my Cam home needs a new fuse box?
Rewireable fuses, no safety switches (RCDs) or a wooden-backed board are all signs it is overdue. If yours already meets modern standards, we will tell you so rather than sell you a board you do not need.
Will the changeover disrupt the whole day?
No. The power is usually only off for a few hours in the middle of the day, and we plan the work to keep the disruption to your home as short as possible.
