Fuseboard relocation in Leeds & Wakefield

1) Fuseboard Relocations in Leeds: Move, Upgrade, and Certify with Duravault

Need your consumer unit (fuseboard) moved for a renovation, meter position change, or a cleaner hallway setup? Duravault carries out fuseboard relocations in Leeds, safely extending and re-routing circuits, improving cable management, and testing and certifying the installation for dependable protection and a tidy finish.

2) What Are Fuseboard Relocations?

A fuseboard relocation is the process of moving your consumer unit from its current position to a new location—often to improve access, meet layout needs, or modernise the installation. This typically involves:

• Extending or re-routing existing circuits
• Re-positioning the main switchgear and protective devices
• Ensuring earthing and bonding are correct
• Full electrical testing after works

3) Why Relocate a Fuseboard?

Renovations and extensions: Fuseboard is in the way of new layouts or joinery

Better accessibility: Easier to reach for isolation and resetting circuits

Cleaner aesthetics: Move from living spaces into a utility, cupboard, or garage (where suitable)

Safety improvements: Opportunity to tidy unsafe or overcrowded wiring and improve protection

Property sale/landlord readiness: Improve compliance and reduce issues flagged on inspections

Future capacity: Make space for EV charger, heat pump, hot tub, solar, or outbuildings
