I'm gonna be leaving a review for Steve from thirty four seven electrical.\n\nSo the job was including an EV charger installation for my flat.\n\nAnd of course it was a very straightforward job.\n\nYeah, I'm actually in a block of flats and of course the cable had to be like a long run cable from the aspect we have to work at least on a distance of about fifteen meters, twelve to fifteen meters. And there was also a communal panel, which of course complicated the process a bit further. And Steve handled everything fantastically.\n\nOn top of that, Steve has been great with his communication.\n\nI think that's the most depressing element of his.\n\nWhenever I was messaging him with questions, he was always extremely responsive and getting back to me very, very quickly, sometimes even instantaneously. And that really made me very confident that I'm working with a very serious person who is a decent professional and well how to treat his clients. So the communication was excellent. The work itself was exactly what I was looking and I really thank him for everything.\n\nI definitely recommend Steve and 24x7 Electrical for any work that has to do with EV charges.\n\nI've been blessed that I had the opportunity to work with Steve. Steve, thank you so much, and all the best.", "hasPart": [ { "@type": "Clip", "endOffset": 8, "name": "Introduction to the Review", "startOffset": 0, "url": "https://architect-asset-builders.lovable.app/fuse-board-replacement?wtime=0s" }, { "@type": "Clip", "endOffset": 43, "name": "Details of the Job", "startOffset": 8, "url": "https://architect-asset-builders.lovable.app/fuse-board-replacement?wtime=8s" }, { "@type": "Clip", "endOffset": 89, "name": "Communication Experience", "startOffset": 43, "url": "https://architect-asset-builders.lovable.app/fuse-board-replacement?wtime=43s" }, { "@type": "Clip", "endOffset": 105, "name": "Recommendation and Conclusion", "startOffset": 89, "url": "https://architect-asset-builders.lovable.app/fuse-board-replacement?wtime=89s" } ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://24-7electrician.co.uk/#organization", "name": "24/7 Electrical Ltd", "url": "https://24-7electrician.co.uk", "logo": "https://24-7electrician.co.uk/favicon.png", "founder": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Steve Green", "jobTitle": "Founder & Lead Engineer", "honorificSuffix": "MIET, EngTech, LCIBSE" }, "contactPoint": [ { "@type": "ContactPoint", "telephone": "+442035766961", "contactType": "customer service", "areaServed": "GB", "availableLanguage": "English", "hoursAvailable": { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": [ "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" ], "opens": "00:00", "closes": "23:59" } }, { "@type": "ContactPoint", "telephone": "+447557781201", "contactType": "emergency", "areaServed": "GB", "availableLanguage": "English" } ], "sameAs": [ "https://www.instagram.com/247electricalkent/", "https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084202661265", "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBm6o6WrQ68wI7KRlXyBzbA", "https://www.tiktok.com/@247electricalltd", "https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/247electrical1090623" ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://24-7electrician.co.uk/#website", "name": "24/7 Electrical Ltd", "url": "https://24-7electrician.co.uk", "publisher": { "@id": "https://24-7electrician.co.uk/#organization" }, "inLanguage": "en-GB" }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does a fuse board replacement take?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Most domestic fuse board (consumer unit) swaps are completed in one day — typically 4 to 6 hours.

Step 1 of 6 ~45 seconds ### What does your current fuse box look like? Old white plastic with switches Wooden / Bakelite with rewireable fuses Modern metal box, but tripping often Not sure — need an electrician to look 2,000+ Fuse boards replaced across the South East 4.9★ Google rating from real customers 25+ Years wiring homes in the South East 24h Quote turnaround — usually sooner Warning signs ## Six signs you need a new fuse board If any of these apply, your fuse box is no longer compliant with the current 18th Edition wiring regulations — and in most cases, no longer safe. - Rewireable fuses If your board uses fuse wire instead of switches, it's typically 30+ years old and needs replacing. - No RCD protection Modern boards trip in milliseconds to prevent electric shock — old boards don't. - Plastic enclosure Pre-2016 plastic consumer units can catch fire. Metal is now mandatory in domestic settings. - Frequent tripping or burning smell Tells you a circuit is overloaded or a connection is failing — get it surveyed urgently. - Failed an EICR Failed an Electrical Installation Condition Report? A board upgrade is usually part of the remedial work. - Adding load — EV, extension, kitchen Older boards rarely have spare ways or the capacity for modern circuits. Easier to upgrade now.
