An older fuse box or consumer unit does not automatically mean immediate replacement, but it can be a poor base for extra electrical work, repeated fault resets or future upgrades. Photos and context usually show whether the next step is a scope review, fault finding, an EICR or a replacement quote.
Send your postcode, a clear board photo and the reason the board is under review. I’ll confirm whether the sensible next step is a managed replacement plan, an EICR, fault-finding, or a first scope check before the job grows.
