Scope review

Scope review before consumer unit replacement

Start by checking the existing board, the age of the installation and the reason replacement is being considered.

Send board photos and postcode Consumer unit replacement plan

Serving Brent, wider NW London, and selected West London postcodes. Best first answer: send your postcode, board photos with the cover closed, and why the board is under review.

A scope review is the early check before a consumer-unit replacement is priced or booked. It looks at why the board is under review, what the photos show, and whether replacement is the sensible next step or whether fault finding, an EICR or a wider quote should come first.

What a scope review checks

Why the board is being reviewed: age, report wording, tripping, heat, renovation or certification.
Whether the visible board condition supports a replacement quote or needs more investigation first.
What access, downtime, testing, labelling and paperwork need to be allowed for.

What can change the next step

Hidden damage, poor previous work or access constraints can change the plan.
A local fault may need diagnosis before the board itself is blamed.
The final outcome still depends on what is confirmed on site and through testing.
