How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Denton?
Denton fuse box replacements are fixed at £449 up to 6 circuits, £549 up to 10 and £695 for 11 or more. The typical three-bed Denton semi is the £549 package; one with an extension or loft circuits, being readied for an EV charger, often moves to £695. Earthing, tails and bonding are quoted from photos.
How a price is built →Why Denton driveways lead to the fuse board
Denton sits right where the M60 meets the M67, and a lot of its semis belong to people who drive to work. More of those cars are now electric, and a home charger needs its own dedicated circuit with proper protection. A 1970s Wylex under the stairs or a full 80s split-load board cannot take one, so the charger installer asks for the board to be replaced before anything else happens.
We fit a metal board with an RCBO on every circuit, surge protection, and a spare way sized for a 32A charger circuit, or 40A if a shower is on the wish list too. The charger installer connects to it on their own visit. You keep the Electrical Installation Certificate for the board, which most installers ask to see before they start, and the Part P notification is already done.
Beyond the semis: Haughton Green and the older centre
Not every Denton job starts with a car. Haughton Green is a big 1960s estate, much of it council-built and since sold or refurbished, where 80s split-load boards with a single RCD are common and one trip takes out everything at once. Around the town centre and Crown Point, the older brick terraces from Denton’s hatting days often keep rewireable boxes and meter tails that were lengthened when the meter moved.
Both usually come in at £449 or £549. The survey on a house sale is the other big trigger here: buyers’ surveyors flag an old box, and sellers want it sorted and certified before completion rather than argued over in the price. Photos in, fixed price back within two working hours, a date within the week in most cases, and the certificate ready for your solicitor on the day.

We only replace boards, so our answer is a new consumer unit with spare EV-ready ways rather than a squeeze-in. On an older Denton board that is usually the better route anyway, because it brings RCD protection to every other circuit in the house at the same time.
Yes, that is the main thing it changes. With an RCBO on every circuit, a fault on the kettle trips the kitchen sockets and nothing else. The lights, the fridge and the heating stay on, which is how it should have worked all along.
Roughly four to six hours. We isolate at the start, fit and test the new board, and switch back on once every circuit has passed. On an EV-ready board the charger way is left spare until your installer connects it, so it never holds up switch-on.
