Ingleby Barwick has a quirk most towns do not. It was built in phases from the late 1970s onwards on the old Thornaby airfield, so the earliest homes around Lowfields and Barwick are now around forty years old while the newest ones are barely finished. That means the boards we are called to vary hugely across one estate. The earlier houses are reaching the age where the original consumer unit really is due for replacement.
A modern board gives every circuit its own protection and cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong. We test every circuit first, fit a quality unit with surge protection as standard, label every way and give you the certificate the same day. Most swaps here take a day. Expect between £500 and £850 depending on the board and how many circuits it covers, and we agree that price before we start.
Built in phases
A Lowfields house and a Sober Hall house can be decades apart, so we look at what you actually have rather than assuming.
Room for what came later
Extensions, garden rooms and home offices all added circuits over the years. A new board gets them all properly protected.
One day, tidy finish
Fitted, tested, labelled and certified in a day, with the cupboard left cleaner than we found it.
Your questions, answered
My house is not that old. Does it still need a new board?
Not necessarily. The later phases of Ingleby Barwick often have boards that are perfectly fine. We will tell you honestly if yours has years left in it rather than sell you one you do not need.
We have added an extension and a garden room. Does that change things?
It usually does. Every addition takes another way in the board, and older units often run out of space or end up with circuits doubled up. A new board sorts that properly.
How much will it cost?
Most fuse box replacements in Ingleby Barwick land between £500 and £850, depending on the board and the number of circuits. We give you one fixed price before we start.
