How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Levenshulme?
We charge £449 up to 6 circuits, £549 up to 10 and £695 for 11 or more. Most Levenshulme terraces land on £549; two-up two-downs and flats over the Stockport Road shops are often £449. Earthing, new meter tails or bonding are added only if your three photos show they are needed, and priced before you book.
How a price is built →Levenshulme terraces and the boards inside them
Between Stockport Road and Burnage Lane the streets are almost all terraced, from narrow two-up two-downs near the station to bigger bay-fronted houses towards Crossley Park. Many have cellars, and the original supply often came in down there. Later owners moved the meter and board up to the hall or under the stairs, which is why we so often find long runs of meter tails and a rewireable box on a scorched wooden backboard.
Cellars are the other Levenshulme feature. Plenty are being tanked and turned into rooms, and the old installation down there is usually the first thing uncovered: a disused switchfuse, a redundant cable, sometimes a live circuit nobody knew about. When we replace the board we trace and label every circuit, so anything left in the cellar is either connected properly or taken off the board altogether. The certificate shows which was which.
The survey, the purchase and the new owner
A typical Levenshulme job begins with a home buyer’s survey that recommends an electrical inspection, followed by an EICR that codes the old board. Sometimes the seller agrees to sort it before completion; more often the buyer inherits the report and wants it done before the furniture goes in. Either way, the fix is a new consumer unit with RCBO protection on every circuit, tested and certified. The certificate then goes in the house file alongside the survey.
If you are mid-purchase, photos taken at a viewing or sent by the seller are enough for us to price from. The fixed price holds for 30 days, which usually covers the run up to completion, and you can book a date for your first week with the keys, while the rooms are still empty and easy to work in. No visit is needed to quote.

Yes. Ask the seller or agent for three photos, or take them at a second viewing: the board, the meter tails and the earthing. We send a fixed written price within two working hours, held for 30 days, so you know the cost before you exchange.
Only in the access. Flats over shops often have their board in a rear stairwell or shared entrance, sometimes with the shop’s supply alongside. Your photos show us which equipment is yours. We replace the board for the flat only, and the shop’s supply is not touched.
We test it on the day. If it feeds nothing, it is disconnected and removed. If it turns out to supply something, such as an old outside light or a shed, that circuit moves onto the new board with its own RCBO. Either way it is recorded on the certificate.
