[QUOTE="Tarmfield, post: 509965, member: 33784"] Thanks for that - I will check out their website and see who they are registered with - the report was arranged through British Gas but looks like it was outsourced to a local firm. They quoted 985 +VAT for the repairs, which is essentially replace the current CU with a compliant one, their first response was "[I]I have looked at the report and there is a lack of RCD protection so to provide this the electrician will need to supply and install a new fuseboard with full RCD protection[/I]" when i queried the lack of they came back with "[I]It does not have enough and your existing board cannot incorporate any more[/I]." Does 985 +VAT seem expensive to replace a consumer unit with 9 circuits and easy access (Its in a downstairs cupboard, easily accessible) and are they correct in saying the current board cannot have any RCD added - it seems there is currently at least 3 spare slots in the CU (pictured below) [ATTACH]11394._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
