Newport Pagnell was a market town long before Milton Keynes existed, and its housing shows it. There are period cottages and Georgian frontages near the middle, Victorian and Edwardian homes around them and then the estates that went up through the 1960s, 70s and 80s as the town grew. Each of those eras left a different kind of fuse board behind, and quite a few are now well past their useful life.
John covers the town and the lanes around it, from Tickford Bridge and the old centre out to the newer estates. Swapping an old board for a modern consumer unit is one of the most common calls, and it is usually a single day's work. Every circuit gets tested first, so nothing hidden turns into a surprise, then the new board goes in, gets labelled and gets certified.
One day, most homes
A board swap is usually done in a day, with the power off for only part of it.
Tested before and after
The circuits get tested first, so any hidden fault shows up before the new board goes on.

Your questions, answered
How do I know if my fuse board needs replacing?
If it has fuse wire, a wooden back or no safety switches, it is past its time. If you are not sure, John will look at it and tell you honestly. Sometimes a board is old but fine, and he will say so.
What does a consumer unit cost in Newport Pagnell?
It depends on how many circuits you have and the state of the wiring behind them, which is why the circuits are tested first. John gives a fixed price after a quick look, rather than a guess on the phone.
Can you do the work around my job?
Usually. The power only needs to be off for part of the day, and John will work to a time that suits you where he can.
