The MSE team is delighted to handle the electrical installation for an extraordinary self-build project in rural South Northamptonshire. 
 
We’ll be getting underway soon and will keep you updated. In the meantime, here are some things to think about for new build and self-build projects. 
A replacement consumer unit or fuse box in your home need verification under the Wiring Regulations
Replacing an electrical home consumer unit (once known as your old-fashioned fuse box) is an alteration to your electrical installation. 
 
Alterations and additions qualify as ‘new work’ so the Wiring Regulations apply to their design and installation. 
 
Once the installation is complete verification confirms it meets the requirements of the Regulations. You should receive an electrical installation certificate as confirmation. 
A training day in our customer's pub to review the updated Wiring Regulations.
The latest amendment to the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2018+A2:2022) came in to effect on 28 September, replacing the previous version which has now been withdrawn. 
 
The MSE team has been looking at the implications of the amendments for some time and our team of charge hands recently took some time out to go over them in detail.
