I am having trouble getting the council to move a consumer unit approx 8 inches down in order to assist an OAP who cannot reach it. The unit is mounted direct to the wall (I thought it had to be mounted on the hardboard thing) and there is more than enough length in the cables from the main fuse to drop the board the required length as it is alongside the main fuse.
The guy that came round was clueless and I am also wondering what qualifications should a council employee have to move a consumer unit?
This is the same Council who missed this OAPs flat during central heating updates since the 80s and hence she has no heating apart from her own electric fire and an immersion heater. Surely this is also illegal to leave it in an unmodofied state these days?
Needless to say the OAP hates to make a fuss and has let it pass for so long.
Thanks for all help.
