Ashford is a real mix, from the Victorian terraces near County Square and Ashford International to the new-build estates at Chilmington, Repton Park and Park Farm. That means a real mix of boards too, some modern and well protected, others dated fuse boxes with rewireable fuses and no RCDs that are now the weak point in the home. A modern board cuts the power in a fraction of a second when a fault appears, with dedicated protection on every circuit, so an older Ashford terrace can be brought right up to the standard you would expect in a newer home.
We are NAPIT registered and City and Guilds qualified, working to the 18th Edition. Before replacing the fuse box we test the existing circuits, then fit a board with RCBOs and surge protection as standard. The new unit is labelled clearly and we walk you through it, so you know what every switch does. The work is usually completed in a day, and we certify it and notify Building Control on your behalf. You get a free fixed written quote first, one honest price up front with nothing added later.
Old terraces brought up to date
We replace dated fuse boxes in Ashford's Victorian terraces with modern boards that match the protection found in newer estate homes.
Every circuit protected
Individual RCBOs plus surge protection as standard mean a fault on one circuit no longer puts the rest of the house at risk.
Certified and notified
We test before changeover, then certify the replacement and notify Building Control for you, so the paperwork is properly handled.
Your questions, answered
How long will my power be off?
Most Ashford fuse box replacements are done in a single day, with the supply off only for parts of it. We plan around you and bring circuits back on as the new board is wired in.
Why does the new board trip when the old fuse box did not?
An old fuse box could not detect the faults a modern RCBO board picks up. A trip usually means a genuine issue has been found, and we test first so we can explain anything that needs attention.
Do I actually need to replace my fuse box?
If it still has rewireable fuses or no RCD protection it is behind current standards. We will give you an honest assessment and a free fixed quote, with no pressure to go ahead.
