This guide explains what registered electrical delivery means for consumer unit replacement, what can change the plan, and what helps you get a clear first answer before installation is booked.

Plain-English note

This is about clarity, not complication. The aim is to confirm whether replacement looks justified, what needs checking first, and how registered electrical delivery will be handled if the job goes ahead.

What registered electrical delivery means here

  • Consumer unit replacement is treated as notifiable work, so it sits on a planned quoted project rather than the standard hourly small-job rate.
  • The first check is usually your postcode, clear board photos, any tripping or overheating symptoms, and the reason replacement is being considered.
  • If the job goes ahead, the likely scope, planned downtime, testing, certification and paperwork are set out before the installation date is agreed.

What can change the plan

  • Photos may suggest a straightforward replacement, but on-site findings can still point to wider issues or a different first step.
  • Repeated trips, signs of heat, poor previous work or awkward access can widen the scope or point to wider remedial work.
  • If replacement is not the right call yet, the next step should still be explained plainly instead of pushing ahead by default.
