Hi Guys, I'm planning on having my consumer unit changed shortly, but am in the early stages.
The house is very old - The consumer unit is currently in a small cupboard under the stairs (Under the bottom 5 stairs to give you an idea of how small the cubbyhole is!)
I know there are regulations to make all services 'accessible'
Can a new consumer unit be mounted in the same place as the old one?
To move it to another location i suspect will cost thousands, as the supply cable an meter are all in here too! and theres only around 6 inches of old lead supply cable sticking out the floor!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
