Distinct lack of green sleeving.
Why sleeve some and not all?

Are you working on this? Add an extra to your price to bring that into the 21st century
 
What do guys normally use to extend cables when required??
Wouldn't it make for a better and tidier looking job to pull legs out of board and use a mf fitting and new legs into boards rather than crimps that look absolutely crap
 
if it's just a few need extendin, e.g. the cpc's are too short, i use ideal in line connectors in CU. if it;s a lot, then an adaptable din rail box, as in one i made earlier (see the blue peter connection). the cpc of the 6.0mm was re=routed after the photo.

I love doing these sort of domestics , they are right in my wheel house as a house badger.
Usually an IP box or Adaptable box like Tel is a very neat solution to multiple extensions to a new position.
If not I will fit the biggest board possible and use in line push connectors to lengthen cables and try to hid the joins behind the mcbs

Either way if I saw the consumers unit in the OP , I would be ripping the whole lot out and starting again...
