The board is the safety heart of your home.
Every circuit in your property runs through the distribution board, so its condition affects the safety of the whole installation. An old rewireable-fuse board, a board with no earth-leakage protection, or one that's simply full and can't take another circuit is a real risk, not just an inconvenience. We assess the board on site, explain what needs doing, and quote before any work starts.
Signs your DB board needs attention
If any of these describe your board, it's worth having it looked at:
- An old rewireable-fuse board instead of circuit breakers
- No earth-leakage (trip) protection fitted
- A board that's full, with no spare ways for new circuits
- A board that's warm, discoloured or buzzing, or a burning smell
- Circuits added or changed piecemeal over the years
- Buying or selling an older home with an old-style board
Not sure if it's the board or something else? Fault finding on a specific problem is a call-out; a full board assessment is what this page covers.

DB board work and your Electrical COC
Changing or upgrading a distribution board is an alteration to the electrical installation, and it typically needs a supplementary Electrical Certificate of Compliance covering the work done. See our Electrical COC page for more on certificates.
DB board upgrade or full rewire?
A DB board upgrade addresses the board itself: replacing an old fuse board, adding earth-leakage protection, or making room for more circuits. If the wiring throughout the property is also old, unsafe or overloaded, a full or partial rewire may be the better long-term fix. We'll tell you honestly which one your property needs after the assessment. See our house rewiring page for more on full and partial rewires.
