can someone tell me where i can get ( fire rated) board to mount consumer unit on as i want it on a board rather than direct to wall?
Paulpa - when you submitted the Building Regs application, how did you say that you would comply with the requirements of P1?
Fair enough.by securing the services of a competent electrician to inspect and test my installation.
Someone would have to be spectacularly daft to drill through a board that a CU was on.Thanks, my idea was to have the board mounted on battens then run cables behind into consumer unit (hidden), but on thinking about it, i guess that could pose the possibility of having live wires exposed behind that could potentially get a screw in at some point even though i have seen some pros do this.?

Possibly.http://www.johnlewis.com/243521/Product.aspx
Could use 25mm thick sheet of stainless steel instead of plywood/chipboard....But you will never totally eradicate the possibility of the cables being mechanically damaged, just reduce it.
