Ensuring the safety and efficiency of your home or business’s electrical system begins with a properly installed, maintained, and fault-free DB board. We proudly serve Redcar, Skelton, Guisborough, Stockton, Wynyard, Middlesbrough, Norton, Billingham, Hartlepool, Saltburn, and Marske, offering expert solutions tailored to every need.

What Is a DB Board?

​

A DB board is the central hub of your property’s electrical system. It distributes electricity to different circuits in your home or business while safeguarding against electrical faults through fuses or circuit breakers.

​

Key features of a DB board include:

• Circuit breakers or fuses: Protect individual circuits.

• RCD (Residual Current Device): Prevents electrocution by shutting off the power when a fault is detected.

• Busbars: Distribute power evenly across circuits.

• Main switch: Allows you to turn off all electricity in case of an emergency.

 

New Builds and DB Boards

For new build properties, a modern DB board is essential to meet current regulations and safety standards. Our team:

• Installs state-of-the-art DB boards that comply with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.

• Designs bespoke setups for homes, offices, and commercial properties in Middlesbrough, Redcar, Wynyard, and beyond.

• Ensures future-proof electrical systems capable of supporting smart home technologies.

 

DB Board Replacements

An outdated or faulty DB board poses significant risks, including fire hazards and power failures. If your property in Stockton, Billingham, or Hartlepool has an older fuse box, it might be time for an upgrade. Signs you may need a replacement:

• Frequent circuit breaker trips.

• Flickering lights.

• Burning smells or scorch marks around your fuse box.

• Lack of RCD protection.
   

Replacing your DB board increases safety, enhances energy efficiency, and ensures compliance with modern standards.

Common DB Board Faults and Fault Finding
Electrical faults often originate from issues with your DB board. We specialise in diagnosing and resolving problems such as:

• Overloaded circuits: Too many appliances drawing power from the same circuit.

• Worn-out components: Aging fuses, breakers, or wiring.

• Loose connections: Leading to arcing or power surges.

• Faulty RCDs: Failing to trip when necessary, leaving you vulnerable.

 

Whether you’re in Guisborough, Saltburn, Marske or anywhere with a TS Postcode, we can provide same-day fault-finding services to restore your electrical system's reliability.

Types of DB Boards

We supply and install a variety of DB boards to suit different property types and needs:

• Standard residential boards: Ideal for homes.

• Three-phase boards: Suitable for businesses with higher power demands.

• High-integrity boards: Combining RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent) and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) for maximum safety and flexibility.

• Temporary power boards: For construction sites and short-term projects.
