Stonehouse is an interesting mix right now: brand-new homes going up at Great Oldbury sitting alongside Victorian terraces and canal-side conversions along the Stroudwater Navigation that have often kept their original fuse box for decades. An old board with rewireable fuses, or no safety switches at all, gives none of the protection a modern home needs, whichever side of the town you are on.
We test every circuit before the changeover so nothing is a surprise, fit a quality consumer unit with surge protection and its own safety switch on every circuit, and label the whole board clearly. Most Stonehouse upgrades are finished in a day, with the power off for only a few hours, and you leave with a full electrical certificate and the notification to Building Control already handled.
Suits old and new Stonehouse homes alike
From a canal-side Victorian terrace to a house barely a year old, we assess what the existing board actually needs rather than assuming.
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
Most upgrades are completed in a single day, with the power off for only a few hours in the middle of it.
Your questions, answered
How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Stonehouse?
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.
Why would a fairly new Stonehouse home need a new fuse box?
Most new builds already have a modern board, but if yours was fitted with a lower specification, or you are adding circuits for an EV charger or solar, an upgrade may be worthwhile. We will tell you honestly if yours is already fine.
How long will the power be off during the changeover?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the work so the disruption to your Stonehouse home is as short as possible.
