How much does a consumer unit replacement cost in Farnworth?
Farnworth prices are fixed: £449 up to 6 circuits, £549 up to 10, £695 for 11 or more. Most rented terraces here are £449 or £549. If the EICR also codes missing bonding or poor earthing, those are priced line by line from the report and your three photos, giving one fixed figure within two working hours.
How a price is built →A landlord’s town
Around Highfield, Moses Gate, Dixon Green and the streets either side of Market Street, Farnworth is terrace after terrace, and many are owned by landlords with one or two properties or a small portfolio. Since the 2020 Regulations made five-yearly EICRs compulsory for private lets, those reports keep landing on the same kind of board: a rewireable box or an early MCB board with no RCD, often in a cupboard by the front door.
The typical Farnworth report reads much the same way: C2 for no RCD protection, a code for the enclosure, sometimes a C2 for missing main bonding to the gas or water pipe. One consumer unit replacement, with bonding added where needed, clears that whole cluster in a single visit. We work from the report line by line and usually fit within the week, well inside the 28 days the regulations allow.
What a remedial job looks like here
Send us the report and three photos of the board, the tails and the earthing. We come back within two working hours with a fixed price that follows the report item by item, so you can see what clears each code. We agree a date with you or your agent, and your tenant only needs to be home to let us in; the power is off for roughly four to six hours.
At the end you get the Electrical Installation Certificate, Part P notification and the written confirmation that the remedial work is complete, which the regulations say you must give your tenant. Leave a failed report unresolved and the council can impose a civil penalty of up to £30,000 per breach, which is why Farnworth EICR jobs go to the front of our diary.

The 28 day requirement covers C1 and C2 items. A C3 is a recommendation rather than a requirement. We price the required items first and show any C3 work separately, so the fixed quote makes clear what you must do and what you can choose to do.
Yes. Many of our Farnworth jobs are arranged through agents. The agent can send the report and photos, agree the date with the tenant, and receive the certificate and written confirmation, while the quote goes to whoever is paying.
Only where the licence or the report calls for them. We fit AFDD-ready boards in HMOs as standard, so arc fault devices can go on the circuits that need them. Each one is priced per circuit in the quote, so you pay for what the licence or EICR actually requires.
