Redland · Consumer unit upgrades
Considering a consumer unit change or rewiring in Redland? Start with the installation’s condition and the changes you need.
Choose your starting point
Choose the closest match. You can add any other details when you enquire. Max can discuss the assessment and explain the work supported by the findings. A quotation should distinguish a board replacement, circuit repairs and wider wiring replacement, including access, interruption and making good. Share existing reports and renovation plans before choosing the scope.

If a Redland renovation has prompted a consumer-unit quote, ask how the proposed board change relates to the circuits already serving the house. Share the inspection findings and plans for the next room, then discuss any additional wiring work as a defined item. In a finished period home, compare the access and making good for each recommended option before booking decoration. That gives you a practical basis for choosing the scope supported by the assessment.
Discuss my propertyBefore the quote
Work through the parts that apply to your property. Include the decisions still open when you speak to Max.
Agree the work and the handover
Testing needs access beyond the board cupboard, while rewiring can disturb walls, floors and fitted rooms. Occupancy and essential equipment affect shutdown arrangements.
If renovation work will already expose routes, coordinate the electrical stages and agree who completes repairs to finishes.
The quote should distinguish board work, circuit alterations, testing and documentation, with additional findings explained before extra work is authorised.
If a report prompted the job, the handover should show how completed work addresses its findings and identify any outstanding actions.
Practical answers
No. It changes the board and agreed related work. Existing cables and accessories remain unless their replacement is specifically included in the scope.
Ask Max about thisA photograph of the closed board helps identify the starting point. It cannot establish the condition of concealed circuits, earthing or bonding. Assessment and testing may be needed before the complete work and price are confirmed; leave all covers in place when taking a photo.
Ask Max about thisPotentially, depending on the installation and findings. The electrician should explain which circuits need work, the reason and whether the proposed sequence is suitable.
Ask Max about thisAssessment and testing can identify defects in retained circuits that affect the proposed work. Ask how existing findings will be explained and priced, and when additional approval will be needed. A board replacement should not be sold as a guarantee that every hidden circuit problem has been repaired.
Ask Max about thisIt is useful to understand the retained installation before the renovation commits to new layouts and finishes. Bring the room plan, appliance requirements and any reports. That helps distinguish a local addition, consumer-unit work and wider rewiring, and shows what needs doing while routes are accessible.
