How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Prestwich?
Prestwich homes usually land higher than average: an unextended semi is often £549 for up to 10 circuits, but once a kitchen extension or loft is added it tends to be the £695 package for 11 or more. Smaller flats are £449. Earthing, tails or bonding are priced from your three photos, and the total is fixed before we book.
How a price is built →When the building work finds out the board
A lot of Prestwich houses are mid-project. The 1930s semis around Sedgley Park and Rainsough, and the larger Victorian and Edwardian houses near St Mary’s church, are exactly the kind people extend rather than sell, and the building work is often where the board gets found out. The electrician fitting the new kitchen or loft circuits looks at a 1970s rewireable box or an 80s board with no spare ways and no RCD protection, and says it needs changing before anything new is connected.
That is where we come in, doing the board and nothing else. We fit a metal consumer unit with enough spare ways for the extension circuits, test everything that is already there, and hand over the certificate and Part P notification so the board is not the thing holding up your project. Your builder’s electrician then connects the new circuits into a board that is ready for them. Sizing the board correctly matters, which is why we ask about planned work when you send photos.
Prestwich compared with its neighbours
Prestwich has more variety than the towns further up the Metrolink line. Alongside the semis and villas there are purpose-built flats and conversions along Bury New Road, where the board may sit in a communal cupboard and access goes through a managing agent. Whitefield, next door, is more uniformly post-war semis and bungalows, while Radcliffe to the north-west has more terraced streets. Kersal and Broughton Park, just over the Salford boundary, share a lot of Prestwich’s housing and we cover them on the same rounds.
Prestwich sits right against the M60, so jobs here often get a slot within two or three working days. The power is off for roughly four to six hours, and most families simply plan to be out for the day. Send three photos with a note of any building work planned, and the fixed price comes back within two working hours.

Usually, yes. Send photos of the board, tails and earthing plus a note of the new circuits planned, and we size the board with spare ways for them. It goes in within days, fully tested and certified, ready for your electrician to connect the loft circuits.
Yes. They sit in Salford rather than Bury, but they are a few minutes from Prestwich and we cover the whole City of Salford too. The fixed prices, the two-hour quote and the paperwork are identical either side of the boundary.
Yes. A garden office or outbuilding gets its own way and RCBO on the new board, like any other circuit. If the cable out to it fails testing on the day, it is priced as a remedial for that fault and you decide whether we go ahead.
