A letting agent has asked for a second opinion on a CU, Apparently the elderly and long term tenant passed April 2020 with covid, they took the opportunity to do some refurb including new CU and some rewiring and cert issued at the time shows an existing submain to shed on 25A MCB. and existing shed CU as 4 MCB circuits for: Outside DSSO - 16A, internal DSSO - 16A, light - 5A & pond pump - 5A.
Tenant moved out recently so EICR done and only shows one code which is shed CU C1 need replacing and quote for £600. From Agents description it sounds like it may be a metal Wylex with plug in MCB's.
Yes I know it's old and I haven't seen it yet so don't have any condition report, do any have a real opinion on the continued use of them or should they be replaced regardless? (I have 2 bakelite versions in use at home)
I'm assuming there is RCD there somewhere, else it shouldn't have passed 3 years back.
