A fuse board or consumer unit is an enclosure that houses the fuses that feed each circuit around your home. These are typically located under staircases or in the main entrance hallway to your property.
You should consider having your fuse board replaced if you find circuits are tripping regularly or if there are any visible signs of damage to the enclosure (cracks or thermal damage)

A fuse board change typically takes between 2-3 hours to replace the consumer unit. It would then take another 2-4 hours to carry out testing and certification.
A qualified and accredited electrician belonging to a recognised governing body such as the NICEIC.
Typically we would require the power to be switched off for 3-4 hours. Other than this, most of the work is carried out at the fuse board location. After installation of the new consumer unit we would need access to all rooms in order to carry out testing.
