Board changes in Wivenhoe often follow a report, and in a split house the first question is which board actually serves which flat.

Fuse board replacement in Wivenhoe
Where a house has been divided, the meter cupboard usually holds more than one board and the tails are not always labelled honestly. We prove which is which before anything is isolated.
Then the standard order: check the incoming supply, the earthing and the bonding, fit the unit, and test each circuit as it comes back on with the readings recorded.

I had an EV charger installed by Valand, and I couldn’t be more pleased. From the initial quote to the final inspection, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure the charger was positioned exactly where I wanted it. All the necessary certificates provided and warranty as well. Excellent service from start to finish!

Fuse board replacement in Wivenhoe — FAQs
Will the other flat lose power?+
Not if the split is real, and we prove that before isolating anything. Where circuits do cross, both parties hear about it before the day rather than during it.
The tenant is in. How long without power?+
Most of the day in stages. We agree the window in advance and keep a working socket circuit live wherever the installation allows.
Old solid-walled house near the quay. Any difference?+
Only in where the board can go and how the bonding runs. Solid walls and shallow voids make the route the awkward part, not the unit itself.
Does a new board make the EICR satisfactory on its own?+
Only for the items the board itself caused. Anything coded on the fixed wiring or the earthing still has to be dealt with, and we list what remains.
What do I get for the file?+
An electrical installation certificate with circuit-by-circuit results, notified through our NAPIT registration, in a form an agent can file.
