it's never easy to get a board with existing cables neat. that board is a bloody good effort for anyone, let alone a 19 year old.We tried a different board this week, branded 'Fusebox',I thought it was ok and my 19 year old son did this one, his first RCBO board, not quite up to old dads neatness but a good effort I think - never as easy to achieve a really tidy result when re-connecting rather than 1st time on brand new cables.

Ah yes, well that was to stop the f....ing grommet strip from constantly falling off, needed a bit of an overlap front and back to keep it in place. But apart from that,thanks mate.
That back board needs replacing.
Cheers Charlie_
Revenge!
Worst thing is, I thought it was £500 for the whole job, it was actually £550 lol. Mrs deals with the cash.That's not good !!
Done a board swap for my nephew last week.
Was disappointed when I seen he had bought proteus/m2 but I was pleasantly surprised with the product..
The case is not as good as Hager or Wylex but the terminations are good, I prefer the fork style busbar

The regulations now require that the main switch and rccb are protected against overload and that diversity of the final circuits shall not be solely used.Total MCB rating of 88A on a 63A RCD. Is this still allowed?
A nonsense I agree, but some manufacturers are adamant this is no longer permitted.
Edit: What rating is the cutout fuse?
That's why Hager is fitting only 100A RCD's in their consumer units now.The regulations now require that the main switch and rccb are protected against overload and that diversity of the final circuits shall not be solely used.
Manufacturers instructions should be followed.
The primary ocpd could be 60/63 amps so it would be acceptable, then again it could be 80/100

A right Bogger's muddle. awful, a Plumber was he? cus he aint no Electrician, if he says he is, he want's to give up, and flog his tools, any certificates issued? if so I would love to look at them, was he a member of one of the CPSchemes?Hello,
Had a sparky install a new consumer unit, has it been done correctly. Bare in mind the chap cut corners on other bits of work he was contracted to do.

Its always a sorry tale when work has to be redone and paid for a second time
Poor standards even reflect negatively on the vast majority who do good work and are honest tradesmen
A couple of hundred too cheap I reckon.Sounds a bit cheap to me, but not ridiculously so.
