Disconnecting garage consumer unit

[noyk]

Am i permitted to disconnect a garage consumer unit? I need to dismantle my garage and so i intend to turn off the power, pull out MCB from main consumer unit, disconnect garage consumer unit from cable and roll up to keep out the way but leave the other end connected to main unit.

Some bloke i contacted wanted £150 for this, so thought i'd do it myself, but just wanted to check with you knowledgeable people if its allowed?

MCBs don't "pull out". (Or at least, they shouldn't )

Don't leave the cable connected at the supply end, remove it completely. Take care, because even with the main switch off there are still live wires inside the CU.

Some Wylex ones do

Indeed they do - you're quite right - sorry about that.
