Consumer unit replacement in Hampstead, tested before and after
A Hampstead consumer unit may sit in a hallway cupboard or under the stairs. In a block, it may be in a shared meter room serving several flats. Its age may reflect the last major alteration rather than the building itself. Older circuits connected to a new unit can reveal faults the old board hid. We test the existing circuits before replacement, so any wiring problem is known before the new unit goes in.
Several parties can have a say in a consumer unit change. The work is notifiable under Building Regulations and is tested and certified on completion. The cut-out and meter belong to the network operator and supplier, so a temporary disconnection may need their involvement. In a block, a unit in a shared cupboard may need the managing agent’s agreement. In a listed building, new cable routes to the unit can need consent. We confirm this for the exact address.
A consumer unit change means the whole Hampstead property is without power for part of the day. We agree timing around home working, medical equipment, alarms, fridges and freezers. The unit position must be safely reachable, so we check cupboard access and any stored items beforehand. Parking controls and sloping streets affect where our van waits. In a block, the meter room key and any concierge rules need arranging in advance.
A photograph of the existing unit with its cover on, and of the meter, tells us a lot. Say whether breakers or fuses trip, and whether any circuits are unlabelled. Mention planned work such as a kitchen or extension, because spare capacity may be sensible now. The replacement is done by Hampstead Maintenance’s own team. Our written scope names the unit, the tests, any remedial work found and the certificate you will receive.
