Hi sparks
I recently added a separate ring main to the downstairs of my house separating the ring upstairs from downstairs and also separating the kitchen with a new ring. I would like to get a sparky in now to add a new CU with MCB's instead of fuses. There is limited space in the CU cupboard where the current fuseboard is which is approx 260mm * 210mm.
I have included a picture of the unit. I would like to know what CU to buy. I have in total
* 1 upstairs ring
* 1 downstairs ring
* 1 upstairs lights
* 1 downstairs lights
* 1 kitchen ring
* 1 cooker cable 6mm
going to the CU but would like to extend this and put some electrics in the shed/garden so would need room to fit this in to! My questions are;
* what consumer unit do i need that will fit this space (is there options make more space?)
* what do I need to put a couple of security lights in the garden, socket in the garden and socket in the shed
* how much should a sparky charge to replace the CU only
many thanks in advance
