My consumer unit is an old wylex fuse unit, the insulation is perfect, the cables are twin and earth but the cable routes don't follow new standards. ie lighting circuits chased all over the place - no zones.
I want a new consumer unit - RCD protection but no electrician will take on the job simply as they fear they will be held liable for the entire house wiring.
I can't rewire the house for the sake of a new consumer unit, are these electricians making up stories or could they be held liable for the house wiring just because they changed the consumer unit?
