@Joules that is exactly what I will do when I get home. You are new to the forum so I will let your attitude pass.
In Quality Assurance terms what does BS7671 represent? The answer is the promotion and application of Good Practice or GxP. An intended install is subject to the processes of verification and validation.314.1 (iv)

Given the continuing uptake in appliances designed to intentionally leak current to earth, I struggle to understand how anyone could argue in favour of installing boards with individual RCDs protecting multiple circuits (in all but a limited circumstances) as this presumes knowledge of a homeowner's future intentions.
I’ve been partial to using fusebox stuff recently, good tackle for the price and in my opinion it looks good and the inside is well thought out, they also don’t seem to distort when they get busy like some do.Disclaimer: Not a pro sparky, so i have no intention of doing this myself, but I am looking for options that I can then take to someone qualified.
I am looking to replace the consumer unit in our house for a number of reasons, and its location means that it is directly visible by anyone coming into the house. As such I would like something thats a little more cosmetically pleasing than the normal consumer unit. If it can intergrate smart features too, that would be a bonus.
It needs to be at least a 12 way unit. A neat flush mounting unit might work, but that will require some alerations to the construction, so a good looking surface mount unit would be better.
Ideally it would be vertically orientated as the space the current unit is in is quite slim ( ~320mm) but quite tall (~650mm) with a bit of wiggle room.
I was spurred to look for better options after seeing a video about the US smart panel made by span: SPAN® Home | Electrify your life - https://www.span.io/ however after spending a couple of hours looking there doesnt appear to be anything even slightly similar in the UK, and definitely not with any smart features.
The best I can find is the regular, but smart looking, Schneider Easy 9 Plus, but thats a bit big for my available space unless it was mounted at 90 degrees. The Easy 9 Multi-Row might work, but doesnt look as good.
So my questions are two fold:
Firstly, does anyone have any suggestions of any options that are out there that look better than a regular wylex or whatever, and/or have any smart features? (power monitoring, remote control, etc).
Secondly, does anyone know if there is any reason a regular consumer unit cant be mounted at 90 degrees? (Its not like the electrons are going to spill out)
Thanks.
