Have a job to change a consumer unit of old rewirable wylex type.
The existing is under the kitchen sink wiith the tails going directly through the outside wall into the meter cabinet outside.
With solid floor and built in cupboards all round and granite work tops is it acceptable to replace it in same location or does it have to be moved.
Note - Also due to extent of pipework etc dual rcd board will not fit and can only get an 8 way rcd incomere board in the space. there is an isollation switch in the meter cabinet but no movement on the tails which appear to go up the cavity a little behind the meter cabinet.
