How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Marple?
Estate semis in Marple and Rose Hill usually come to £549 for up to 10 circuits, stone cottages in Compstall and Marple Bridge often £449 for up to 6, and larger Victorian houses £695. An earthing upgrade, at £80 to £160, is the extra most likely here. Everything is priced from your three photos and fixed in writing.
How a price is built →Stone, slopes and earthing
Marple’s oldest houses are the stone cottages built for mill and canal workers around Compstall, Marple Bridge and the Peak Forest Canal locks. They were never designed for electricity, and whatever board is in there arrived later, often squeezed into a cupboard by the front door or under a steep staircase. Thick stone walls also meant cables were run wherever was easiest, so we look closely at how circuits leave the board in your photos.
Further up towards Mellor and the edge of the hills, some properties are on overhead supplies with a TT earthing arrangement, meaning the earth comes from a rod in the ground rather than the supplier’s cable. That is perfectly acceptable when it tests well, but older rods and connections are exactly what we check in the earthing photo, and where an upgrade is needed it is priced up front, not found on the day.
Villas, estates and how we schedule SK6
Away from the cottages, Marple is Victorian and Edwardian villas on the slopes above the town centre and the 1960s and 70s estates of Rose Hill and Hawk Green. The villas have usually been extended and often carry a plastic board from a 90s refurbishment. The estates tend to have their original board or an 80s split-load replacement, and the prompt for change is usually a sale, an EV charger or an electric shower upgrade.
Marple is on the outer edge of our Stockport rounds, so we group SK6 jobs together and usually fit later in the same week you send your photos, rather than within a couple of days. There is no travel charge for being further out, and the price in your written quote is the price you pay. Being further out changes when we come, not what the job includes.

Yes. TT systems are common on the rural edges of Marple and Mellor. We test the earth on the day, and if the photos suggest the rod or its connection needs work, an earthing upgrade is priced beforehand at £80 to £160. RCBO protection on every circuit suits a TT supply well.
No. It is inside Stockport, one of the nine boroughs we cover, with no travel charge. Because it is on the edge, we group jobs here and usually fit later in the same week rather than within two or three days, which is still well inside a 28 day EICR deadline.
Usually. Metal consumer units are compact, and a cottage with six circuits or fewer needs one of the smaller enclosures. If the space is genuinely too tight, your photos will show it and we talk it through before you book, not on the day.
