Chris recently completed a lot of demanding electrical work at my property . He was extremely polite, professional and worked extremely hard for many hours. He explained everything … More to me as the works progressed. He is a brilliant electrician and a huge credit to the business. I can speak highly of Jordan too who has carried out some work at my property. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MJP Electrical Services to anyone. Thank you Chris. You're a star!

Needed some remedial work doing when moving into our new house. MJP were easy to contact, super helpful and very upfront with the costs.They came and fitted our new consumer unit and … More arrived at the time they said they would. After completing all of the work they found a sight problem with a light the was proving complicated to fix. They went out of their way to stay a lot longer than planned to get this fixed and we couldn’t be more thankful for their professionalism on our job.Fantastic work to a fantastic standard. We will certainly use again when we need more electrical work completing.

Excellent service. MJP Electrical Services LTD completed an electrical check and returned two days later to fit a garden light. On both occasions, the electricians (Greig/Chris) were … More polite, friendly and efficient. Text/email updates kept me informed with appointment and expected arrival times and Ashley was very helpful in assisting with booking. A positive experience- thank you!

Chris came well within the 4 hour window and managed to find us despite the premises being very rural and out of the way. He was cheerful, courteous and went out of his way to be helpful. … More he was obviously confident and diagnosed the fault in our consumer unit very quickly.He replaced the main switch and cable as necessary and gave us a clear explanation of the problem. We cannot fault the service he provided in any way and it was pleasure to meet him and see him at work. We shall use MJP electrical services again whenever we have an electrical problem

MJP electrical. I called at short notice for a job which should have been simple for an almost competent DIYer, but had decided to get complicated for no apparent reason.Chris turned … More up just before the appointment, clean, personable and polite. We talked through the issue, but he'd come prepared. I was surprised at how quickly he'd replaced the faulty light fittings, gone through a safety survey of the electrical switch board and was part way through cleaning the bathroom! Chris did a great job and we'd be more than happy to receive him the next time.Thank you Chris and MJP.Adrian, a future repeat customer.

Frequently asked questions
Let us answer your important questions
A: The consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system, and comes in many shapes and sizes. The unit distributes the electricity, via fuses or circuit breakers, to the different circuits such as sockets or lighting. Modern consumer units are designed to help reduce electrical risks by incorporating Residual Current Devices (RCDs). In the event if an electrical fault, these devices disconnect the electrical supply thus reducing the risk of electric shock or fire. Miniature circuit breakers also make resetting the system more convenient than replacing old style fuse-wire.
A: A Consumer Unit or Fuse board is the single most important electrical device in any building. It protects electrical appliances from damage and more importantly, human beings from electrical shock.
A: The cost of installing a new consumer unit is around £250 to £600. However, this may increase if you require an electrical installation condition report, as this normally costs around £100 to £300 depending on the size of your property.
A: 8hrs inclusive of testing and certification.
A: You should contact us if you suspect that any of the following may apply to your old fusebox
- The fuse-board cover is missing
- The fuse-board is damaged
- There are any exposed live parts
- The fuse-board is showing signs of over-heating
- The fuse-board is overloaded
- RCD protection is not provided
A: A fuse box and a consumer unit serve the same purpose. They distribute electricity in your house through multiple circuits and instantly turn the power off whenever a power overload occurs on one of the circuits, which is commonly known as “tripping”
A: In short No. Unsafe Yes, Non-compliant with the current regulations (BS7671:2008) If the fusebox is old and has fuse wire type fuses, it is worth upgrading it, as modern ones have RCD protection built in, which will literally save your life in the event of a fault.
A: Basically speaking, any consumer unit without an RCD needs an upgrade. This doesn’t always mean a whole new consumer unit so it is essential you speak to a registered, qualified electrician who can decide what needs to be done
