How much does a consumer unit replacement cost in Salford?
Our fixed prices are £449 up to 6 circuits, £549 up to 10 and £695 for 11 or more. Most Salford terraces fall in the £449 or £549 package. Cellar-head boards often need new meter tails, £60 to £120, or main bonding, £80 to £150, and we price both from your three photos before booking.
How a price is built →Salford housing and the boards it hides
The Edwardian terraces of Seedley, Langworthy and Weaste were built with cellars, and that is where the electrics went. We still find cast-iron switchfuses down there that pre-date the NHS, usually with a 1970s rewireable box bolted alongside. Damp cellar heads are hard on old equipment, and these are some of the most deserving replacements we do.
Salford also has one of the biggest private rented sectors in the region, from Broughton terraces to Ordsall flats. Landlord EICRs drive a lot of our work here, and the same C2 cluster comes up again and again: no RCD protection, no bonding, plastic or damaged enclosures. One board visit usually clears the list.
Across the City of Salford
Salford is more than its inner terraces. Eccles carries the same Edwardian streets further west, plus bay-fronted semis towards Monton where the board usually sits in the porch or under the stairs. Swinton and Pendlebury are mostly interwar and 1950s semis with a single 1970s rewire behind them. Worsley, Walkden, Boothstown and Little Hulton run from canal-side cottages and large detached houses to 1960s overspill estates, so a Worsley quote can land in any of our three packages.
Out west, Irlam and Cadishead add 1970s estates and newer builds, where the job is usually a tired plastic board rather than a box of wire fuses. Around Salford Quays, apartments bring a managing agent into the picture, and we handle that side for you. Whichever part of the city you are in, it runs the same way: three photos, a fixed price within two working hours, and one visit.
