Buying a new home? Don’t forget… you inherit the electrics too.
We were asked to take a look at the setup in this property after the new owner moved in — and straight away it was clear an upgrade was needed.
The existing consumer unit was an older MK Century board, mounted high up with no spare ways and limited flexibility for any future work.
Not ideal — especially when you want something safe, accessible, and ready for the years ahead.
So we:
✔ Replaced the outdated consumer unit
✔ Installed a modern board with room for future additions
✔ Relocated it to a more practical height
✔ Fully reorganised and labelled the installation
Now everything is:
✔ Safer
✔ Easier to access
✔ Set up for future improvements
It’s not just about how it looks on the outside — what’s behind the cover matters most.
