Emergency Consumer Unit Repair in Worthing – Unsafe Installation Corrected by SLE Electrical

At SLE Electrical, we’re committed to providing reliable, safe, and professional electrical services throughout Worthing, West Sussex, and East Sussex. On a recent call-out to a residential property in Worthing, we uncovered a concerning electrical setup that had been left in an unsafe state by a previous contractor.

Unsafe Installation Found in Worthing Home

Our team was called to assess an upgraded consumer unit that had reportedly been completed just weeks earlier by a local contractor. Upon inspection, we discovered several serious issues that could have easily posed a safety risk to the occupants:

• Incorrect labelling on the consumer unit, leaving circuits unlabeled or mislabelled.

• Exposed live connections in the garage — a major safety hazard.

• Poor sealing and cable entry practices, as seen in the image below. Not only was the workmanship sloppy, but the use of excessive and poorly applied sealant further highlighted a lack of attention to safety and standards.

This kind of work not only breaches regulations but can put lives at risk.

What SLE Electrical Is Doing to Rectify the Situation

We will be:

• Re-testing the entire installation to ensure all circuits are correctly functioning and safe.

• Relabelling the consumer unit to ensure clarity and compliance with current electrical standards.

• Correcting any dangerous or non-compliant wiring to bring the system up to the high standards we uphold.

• Documenting and certifying the remedial work, so the client can have peace of mind.
