Old rewireable fuse board with taped case and a separate RCD unit in a Pencoed home, before Renovolt replaced it
Before: the old rewireable fuse board, with a separate RCD unit bolted on beside it.
New consumer unit fitted by Renovolt in Pencoed, with Renovolt and NAPIT labels and the test date 27-11-25
After: the new consumer unit, labelled with the test date (27-11-25) and the next inspection date (27-11-30).

Pencoed · Tested 27 November 2025, posted January 2026

What Aled did

  • Took out the old board: rewireable fuse carriers, hand-written circuit labels, tape on the case and a warning sticker already stuck to it.
  • Took out the separate add-on RCD unit that had been fitted next to it.
  • Fitted a new consumer unit in the same spot, with the cables tidied and clipped underneath.
  • Tested the installation and labelled the board: Renovolt and NAPIT labels on the front, test date 27-11-25 and the next inspection due 27-11-30 written on it.

Why it matters

Rewireable fuses and a bolt-on RCD are a common sight on older boards in Pencoed and Bridgend. If yours looks like the before photo, it is worth getting it checked. A new board gives every circuit modern protection, and the label tells the next electrician (or buyer) when it was last tested.
