The Corbett estate style housing around Eltham High Street and Well Hall dates mostly from the interwar years, and a lot of those original wiring installations have never had a proper consumer unit upgrade. It's one of the most requested jobs in the area for good reason.
Replacing an old rewireable fuse board with a modern RCD protected consumer unit is usually a single day job, tested and certified before Chris leaves. Eltham residents often mention they've been meaning to sort it for years after a scare with a tripping circuit or a survey flag on a house sale.
Beyond consumer units, EICR testing is common here too, particularly for anyone buying an older Eltham property who wants to know exactly what state the wiring is in before committing.
