Fuse box upgrades in FY5
Thornton runs from Four Lane Ends to Marsh Mill, mostly 1960s–1990s family housing with a good number of extensions and garage conversions — which is where we find unlabelled circuits and DIY spurs.
A 15-minute run, so most Thornton jobs are same-day or next-day.
Every job is carried out by a NAPIT-registered electrician and notified under Part P where required, so your certificate stands up with insurers, mortgage lenders and letting agents.

What customers say
“Adam attended an emergency call out as we had no electricity. He arrived within the hour, kept me updated, and notified me upfront about his rates. Professional, polite, respectful of our home — explained exactly what he was doing and why. Tidied up after the job. Price was extremely reasonable. Absolutely superb work and customer service. Can't recommend highly enough.”
“Adam has just completed a full rewire of our house, including outdoor lights and garage. He fitted all the new light fittings for us. He has done a great job and the price was very reasonable too. Nothing was too much trouble and work was finished to a high standard. Would recommend without hesitation.”
“Fantastic service, quick, professional and efficient. I thought the work was £10 more than it was — the £10 was returned, so I would add trustworthy to the review. Highly recommended.”
Fuse box upgrade Thornton — FAQs
How much is a new fuse box in Thornton?
£470 covers a standard swap up to eight circuits. Larger boards with surge protection are £590. Earthing or bonding upgrades, if the property needs them, are quoted separately.
How long does it take?
Around four to six hours, with the power off for most of that. We usually book mornings so you are back on supply by the afternoon.
Do I legally have to upgrade?
There is no law forcing an upgrade in an owner-occupied home, but a board with no RCD protection will be coded on an EICR — and landlords must act on those codes.
What is an RCBO board?
Each circuit gets its own combined RCD and breaker, so a fault on one circuit does not knock out half the house. It is what we fit as standard.
Will you find other problems?
Sometimes. Testing before we change the board reveals borrowed neutrals or damaged cable — we tell you before we start, not halfway through.
