I'm going to get a quote for a consumer unit replacement (and potential inspection, depending on what the electrician says). House and all existing wiring and consumer unit is almost 30 years old, although a RCD circuit for the shower was added separately when the last owner lived there (cheepskate should have just replaced the lot!).
I've been reading a few threads on here but am confused about how the job will proceed when it comes to the matter of the Main Fuse. Do the DNO need to remove the main fuse (breaking the seal around it) in the electric meter box or can a suitably qualified electrician do this? Or is there another way to safely isolate the electricity to the house without the need for the DNO to intervene?
