Consumer Unit Changes in Crayford
Sidcup Electrical provides consumer unit changes in Crayford. Chris Whyte carries out every job himself, fully insured with public liability cover of £20 million, with free quotes and all work tested and certified.
Crayford, around Crayford High Street and Crayford railway station, is part of the 20 mile radius Chris Whyte covers from Sidcup. The housing is typically older terraced houses tied to Crayford's riverside industrial heritage, often with dated wiring. Older rewireable or wooden backed fuse boards lack modern RCD protection and are worth upgrading. A consumer unit change fits a modern unit with RCD protection and circuit breakers that meet current wiring regulations, with testing and certification included.
