The point I was trying to put across is that it is not that difficult to do a simple job like changing a consumer unit to a larger one if none of the variables inside the property have changed. I changed mine because I'm fitting a bigger kitchen later this year, and am moving away from a gas...

what do you mean get a professional to do it, I replaced mine last week with a larger unit. Okay i'm not an electrician but would say I'm electrically minded, it was dead easy you just need a bit of common sence and a good memory or diagram to remember what circuit goes where. And don't forget...
