How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Stretford?
Gorse Hill terraces and flats are usually £449, up to 6 circuits, while the 1930s semis around Longford Park and Firswood tend to be the £549 package for up to 10. Bigger extended houses are £695. Bonding, meter tails and earthing upgrades are priced from your three photos, so landlords and owners get a fixed figure before booking.
How a price is built →What Stretford landlords keep getting coded
The rented terraces of Gorse Hill and the streets towards Old Trafford were mostly rewired in the post-war decades and have been let ever since, with the fuse box left alone between tenancies. An EICR on one of these usually comes back with the same cluster: a rewireable or early split-load board, no RCD protection on the socket circuits, and missing main bonding to the gas and water pipes. Together they point to a new board rather than a patch.
Flats above shops along King Street and Chester Road add a twist. The supply often enters at the back of the shop or in a shared hallway, and the flat’s consumer unit may be a small plastic board fitted when the upstairs was converted. We sort access with the shop owner or managing agent, and the written confirmation you owe your tenant comes with the certificate, so the letting file is complete the same day.
Our nearest patch, and what that means for deadlines
Trafford Park sits right on Stretford’s northern edge, so M32 is the town we reach fastest. For a landlord with 28 days to clear C1 and C2 codes, that matters. Send the report and photos, have a line-by-line fixed price within two working hours, and expect most remedials to be fitted within the week. The 2020 Regulations allow councils to impose a civil penalty of up to £30,000 per breach, so the paperwork is not optional.
Owner-occupiers get the same speed. The 1930s semis around Longford Park and Lostock usually carry a 1970s Wylex under the stairs, and a buyer’s survey is often what brings them to us. Either way it is one visit, power off for four to six hours, and certified before we go, with the 5-year workmanship guarantee transferring to your buyer if you sell.

We do, with the shop owner, freeholder or managing agent, once you pass on their details. Your photos of the intake and the flat’s board tell us whose supply is whose before we arrive, and only the flat loses power on the day.
Yes. Main protective bonding to the incoming gas and water is priced from your photos at £80 to £150 and fitted on the same day as the board, so one visit clears both codes. You get the certificate and the written confirmation for your tenant together.
We avoid it where we can, because parking and access around the ground get difficult. Give us a couple of possible dates when you send your photos and we will pick one that keeps the van close to your door.
