I fitted the B10, the B16 and the B32. Does it look acceptable to you?
Don't mention part P thanks

How's my CU looking?

No MPBs.
Breakers are different types.
Breakers not in size order.
Could be neater.
Do your lighting circuits really comply with regulation 522.6.6?

Not the neatest job, but seen worse.
There is copper on show on the neutral to the top of the RCCB.
The MCB's should bee in numerical order starting with the highest nearest to the main isolator and the RCCB
i.e. 32,32, 16
The MCB's look untidy with the gaps, perhaps you may want to check there tightness to the busbar
The picture is a touch fuzzy but you look to have the first earth terminated in the bonding termination, talking of which where is the bonding to gas and water (assuming this is domestic).
Iwould like to see more of the outer sheath removed from the tails showing the inner sheaths of blue and brown

can I see a nic in the insulation on live conductor on first T+E just after PVC sheath?
Bit messy inside(red brick dust)
oh part p

The gas/water are bonded from another CU, so that's ok, right?
The lighting ccts do not comply with 522.6.6 so should I put them on the RCD side?
The old colours was because the shop had run out of the new colours but told me it would be fine if I sleeved them with the new colours. Is that right?
lawdy didn't see that, I'll have a look
edit: Also, I'll put the MCBs in order
Looks like one of those nasty Crabtree boards with the 'plug in' busbar.
The one where you plug the breaker in, and then hope and pray the connection is good enough.
Think about RCBOs on non protected split too!

Oh my God - the entire neutral bar is uninsulated!
lolI don't like mixing the new Crabtree mcbs with the old ones - it makes the job look untidy. In fact it makes your CU look much worse than it is. I'm pretty sure though that to mix the two types is not a problem.
Other than that, the main concerns would be:
a) Is this a new CU? Do you need RCD protection for circuits 1&2?
b) Part P
c) Part P
mo2 - what tests did you carry out before and after energising? (Or is it not energised yet?)
To go with the photo of the CU could you scan your EIC and schedules?

Sorry. I was seeing it the other way round, don't know why. I thought you had harmonised cable and had sleeved it red....
