Ensure your consumer unit (fuse board) in London is safe and compliant with UK electrical regulations. At Landlord-Cert, we provide professional Consumer Unit Inspection services across all London boroughs, helping you identify electrical hazards and ensure your property's electrical distribution system is functioning safely.
What Is a Consumer Unit Inspection?
A Consumer Unit Inspection involves a thorough examination of your property's consumer unit (also known as a fuse board or distribution board). The consumer unit is the main electrical distribution point in your property, containing circuit breakers or fuses that protect electrical circuits from overload or faults.
Our consumer unit inspection services include:
- Visual inspection of the consumer unit
- Testing of circuit breakers and RCDs (Residual Current Devices)
- Identification of any loose connections or overheating
- Assessment of consumer unit age and condition
- Compliance checks with BS7671 wiring regulations
- Recommendations for upgrades or replacements
Why You Need a Consumer Unit Inspection in London
Consumer unit inspections are essential for electrical safety. Faulty consumer units can cause electrical fires, electric shocks, or power outages. Many older properties in London still have outdated fuse boards that may not provide adequate protection, making regular inspections crucial.
You should book a Consumer Unit Inspection if you:
- Have an older consumer unit or fuse board in your London property
- Experience frequent tripping of circuit breakers
- Notice signs of overheating (burning smell, discoloration)
- Haven't had your consumer unit inspected recently
- Are planning electrical upgrades or rewiring
- Need to comply with electrical safety requirements
- Have a consumer unit older than 10-15 years

How Often Is a Consumer Unit Inspection Required?
Consumer unit inspections are typically included as part of a full EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report), which should be carried out every 10 years for owner-occupied properties and every 5 years for rental properties in London. However, if you have an older consumer unit or experience electrical issues, more frequent inspections may be advisable.
