Consumer unit repair price
After the failed breaker, lid or switch has been inspected, the repair figure is confirmed. Different faults are never given a single standing figure.
From £225
£225 for up to 1 breakers or RCDs to replace, then £69 per additional breakers or RCDs to replace.
Included
- Finding whether an opening breaker is a bad device or a fault on its circuit.
- Repairing a lid that will not close, latch or sit flat.
- Changing the one switch that no longer isolates its circuit.
- Checking the repaired circuit turns off and on before we finish.
Not included as standard
- Taking out the whole consumer unit and fitting a new one.
- A house rewire, or extra circuits the board does not already feed.
- Anything to do with gas meters or gas appliances.
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- Lid repairs and breaker repairs are confirmed apart from one another.
- If repair is not possible, removal of the unit waits until you have been told.
- Domestic homes, shops and landlord lets can each be repaired, and the figure follows the fault found.
When a board needs repair
Plenty of consumer units only have one failed part. Repair is for that part, when the rest of the board can stay on the wall.
- Breaker opening on its ownClosing the breaker only for it to open again points to the device or to that circuit. We find which, then repair the board so the circuit can remain on.
- Lid refusing to shutA cover that catches, sits proud or will not latch leaves the devices poorly covered. We repair the lid so it closes properly on the unit.
- Circuit no longer isolatingIf turning one switch off leaves that circuit live, the device has failed even when neighbouring circuits are fine. We repair that device alone.
What happens on the day
The visit follows the symptom, with tests done before any device comes off the board. We explain what the tests show.
- Noting how it failsWe note whether the breaker opens straight away, the lid has never shut, or a named circuit stays live. The pattern sets the order of tests.
- Tests with power controlledThe affected circuit is tested while the rest of the installation is kept safe. Parts stay in place until the failed one is clear.
- Putting the part rightThe failed breaker, switch or lid is repaired or changed. We then check that the circuit isolates and that the cover closes fully.

WhatsAppCan a consumer unit be repaired rather than replaced?
It can, where a breaker opens, a lid will not close, or one device no longer isolates its circuit. Where the whole unit has failed, we say so and stop.
What does a lid repair involve?
We check the cover, the latch and the devices it has to clear. Many lids can be made to shut without lifting the unit off the wall.
Do villa boards in Winshill come under this?
Yes. Georgian and Victorian villas in Winshill often keep a consumer unit that is worth repairing. Swadlincote boards are repaired on the same basis.
Will the whole board be swapped without warning?
No. Repair leaves every sound part where it is. A full change, if it is truly required, is explained before that work begins.
Does this include a rewire?
No. Mending the consumer unit leaves the house wiring as it is. A rewire or a run of new circuits is another job.
