Consumer Unit Upgrades in Shawlands

Local consumer unit upgrades for homes and businesses in Shawlands, Glasgow — from sandstone tenements along Kilmarnock Road and Pollokshaws Road, the Southside's main commercial hub. NICEIC registered, fully insured, and quoted clearly before we start.

Consumer Unit Upgrades for tenement flats and traditional Southside properties

Many homes and small businesses across Glasgow are still running on outdated fuse boards with no RCD protection. We replace these with modern, correctly rated consumer units that meet current regulations and give you real protection.

Most of our work in Shawlands is on sandstone tenements along Kilmarnock Road and Pollokshaws Road, the Southside's main commercial hub. Tenement flats often mean shared stairwells, older meter rooms, and sometimes a shared supply to consider — we plan around all of that before we start, not after.

  • Replacement of old fuse boards
  • RCD and surge protection options
  • Sized correctly for your property
  • Same-day upgrades in most cases

Compliance & Regulations

A consumer unit replacement is notifiable work under Scottish building regulations. We self-certify this as a registered electrician, so you avoid a separate council application while still getting the correct compliance paperwork.

Getting to Shawlands From Our Southside Base

It's one of the closest areas to our base — just a few minutes from Shawlands via Pollokshaws Road to our Southside base on Inverlair Drive (G43) — well within our usual call-out range, so a visit to Shawlands is a normal part of the working week for us, not a special trip.

Fantastic service. Danny was great in organising a professional and timely service. Good communication throughout too. Calum, who fitted a new consumer unit, was a tidy worker and very pleasant and super helpful, replacing an old light fitting for me too. Very pleased with the service. Highly recommend and would use again.

Dan and Rachel are honest, reliable, polite and efficient electricians. Rachel installed a new distribution box and Dan installed a new thermostat at short notice when our central heating suddenly stopped working. Dan offers a personal service at value for money prices. I'm happy to recommend Quality Electrics.
