Consumer Unit Upgrade in Bromley
A consumer unit upgrade replaces an old fuse box with a modern unit incorporating RCD (residual current device) protection on relevant circuits, improving safety by cutting power quickly in the event of a fault, and is one of the most common findings recommended on an EICR.
In Bromley, that covers Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley. Bromley is one of the greenest London boroughs, with a historic High Street and residential areas ranging from Beckenham and Orpington's Victorian and interwar housing to the more rural character around Chislehurst and Hayes, close to the Kent border and within easy reach of our Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells teams.

Property styles in Bromley
Bromley's housing stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the town centre and in Beckenham, substantial interwar detached and semi-detached houses across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bickley, and larger period properties around Chislehurst and Hayes, many on generous plots suited to rear and double-storey extensions.
Planning considerations
Bromley Council (London Borough of Bromley) is the local planning authority. Chislehurst and parts of Beckenham and Hayes are conservation areas, and much of the borough's southern and eastern edge is designated Metropolitan Green Belt, which restricts new buildings and substantial additions beyond normal permitted development limits.

Yes, we cover the BR1, BR2, BR3, BR4, BR5, BR6 and BR7 postcode areas in full, including Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley.
How do I know if my fuse box needs replacing?
Common indicators include old rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, or adverse findings on an EICR. We assess the specific unit on a visit rather than assuming age alone means it needs replacing.
Will I lose power during the upgrade?
Yes, briefly — the supply needs to be isolated while the old unit is removed and the new one connected. This typically takes part of a day and is scheduled with you in advance.
