Do You Need a Fuse Board Upgrade in Pollok?
Pollok's 1930s garden-suburb originals are well past the age where an older-style fuse board becomes a genuine concern, and even the post-war tenement blocks that were refurbished rather than demolished can still be carrying older electrics behind an updated interior. If you're not sure whether your board needs upgrading — whatever the age or type of your Pollok property — we're happy to take a look and give you an honest answer either way.
- An older-style fuse board is still fitted
- You're experiencing electrical faults or frequent tripping
- Renovation or extension work is underway
- The property is being prepped for rental
- You need additional circuits or improved safety protection

How do I know if I need a new fuse board?
Common signs include an older-style board still fitted, electrical faults or frequent tripping, planned renovation work, or wanting improved safety protection. This applies whether your Pollok property is a 1930s original or a more recent build — we can inspect and advise honestly either way.
Will I be without power during the upgrade?
The supply is safely isolated before any work begins, as it is for every upgrade. Full system testing is carried out before we hand the property back to you.
Is testing and certification included?
Yes. Every fuse board upgrade includes full system testing, and certification is issued once the work is complete.
Do you upgrade boards for landlords and rental properties?
Yes. Consumer unit upgrades are a common request for landlords preparing a property for rental, and we regularly work with landlords across Pollok and the wider Greater Glasgow area.
Do I need to be in during the upgrade?
