Different faults are never given a single standing figure. - Consumer unit repair: from £225; £225 for up to 1 breakers or RCDs to replace, then £69 per additional breakers or RCDs to replace. - 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. ### 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. ## 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 own:** Closing 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 shut:** A 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 isolating:** If 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 fails:** We 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 controlled:** The 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 right:** The failed breaker, switch or lid is repaired or changed. We then check that the circuit isolates and that the cover closes fully. ## How booking works 1. **Tell us about the job:** Tap Book Now and describe the work in the chat.

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. ## Business facts - Service area: Swadlincote, Burton upon Trent, Derby, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Nottinghamshire - Hours: Calls answered 24/7 - Phone: +447450316338 - Email: rob@re-energizeelectrical.co.uk - Insurance: Public liability £2M, Employers' liability £10M, Professional indemnity £500K - Qualifications: Level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018, City and Guilds, 2022 ## Book or ask a question - [Book Now](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/#chat) ## Related services - [EICR](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/eicr) - [Consumer unit replacement](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/fuse-board-replacement) - [EV charger installation](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/ev-charger-installation) - [Electrical fault finding](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding) - [Electric shower installation](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/electric-shower-installation)
