    consumer unit

    I've had a new consumer unit fitted but the front cover does not seem to be sealed tight in places. I mean it is screwed in but there is a 1 or 2mm gap in places between the front cover and the rest of the CU. Is it a bodge install? The unit was new when the electrician brought it in. I...
