How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Trafford?
£449 up to 6 circuits, £549 up to 10 and £695 for 11 or more, all fixed from three photos. Stretford and Urmston semis mostly land at £549, while extended houses in Sale, Hale and Altrincham are often £695. Earthing, meter tails and bonding are the only planned extras, and they are priced before we book.
How a price is built →The borough we know best
Old Trafford and Gorse Hill terraces mostly carry post-war rewireable boxes; the 1930s semis that line Stretford, Urmston and Flixton have the classic under-stairs Wylex from their 1970s rewire; and Edwardian Sale and Ashton upon Mersey add bigger houses with more circuits and the occasional surprise in an outbuilding.
Because Trafford is the commuter belt, two triggers dominate here: house sales, where a survey has flagged the board and completion is looming, and EV chargers, where the installer will not connect to the existing board. Both are fast, well-trodden jobs for us, and being based in Trafford Park means short lead times.
Trafford’s towns and what sets each apart
Trafford splits into north and south. In the north, Stretford and Urmston share a familiar pattern: family semis, loft conversions and a steady stream of buyers inheriting a board the survey has noticed. Old Trafford and Gorse Hill lean more towards rented terraces and EICR remedials. Partington and Carrington, out by the Manchester Ship Canal, are mostly post-war estates with compact houses, where the smallest package usually covers the whole board.
South of the Mersey, Sale, Timperley, Altrincham and Hale are the larger-house end of the borough. Sale and Timperley are Edwardian and interwar semis on quiet roads; Altrincham and Hale are villas and extended detached houses with more circuits and frequent EV charger plans. Hale’s conservation areas add period houses where the board has been moved or split more than once over the decades.

Faster than anywhere. We are based in Trafford Park, so gaps in the diary often go to Trafford postcodes. Photos in the morning can mean a fitted board the same week.
Yes, that is the normal arrangement. We fit an EV-ready board with spare high-load ways, and your installer connects the charger to it afterwards.
A fixed price the same day, the work usually within the week, and the Electrical Installation Certificate plus Part P notification your solicitor will ask for, handed over on the day.
