Sudbury's period properties and established housing often retain fuse boxes from a time before RCD protection was standard. A consumer unit replacement is a straightforward, usually same-day upgrade that significantly improves the safety of your home's electrical installation.
Consumer Unit Replacement for Sudbury Properties
The older properties along Sudbury's high street and around Market Hill frequently have fuse boxes that have accumulated additional circuits over the years without a coherent design. The housing across Great Cornard, Ballingdon, and the surrounding areas often has boards from the 1960s–80s that lack current protection standards. We bring both up to modern specifications efficiently.
