Placing consumer unit?

TrigPoint
Hi everyone,


Could you please advise?


I have a rewire of a refurbished house. The clients want the CU very high up on the wall but I'd prefer the guidance in Part P and M and install around 1350mm-1450mm. So the wiring is as up to date as possible. Do I have to follow rules for a new build/dwelling or as it's refurbished can the CU be installed to previous building regs?


Thanks

    A lady said to me this morning “Don’t close the fuse board lid, I have to poke it with my walking stick”, which is a very common request from older customers.


    The record goes to the old Midland Electricity Board contracting department who installed a fuse board a full fourteen feet (over four metres) off the floor in the billiards room of of a rather grand old house, it was one of those you just stared up at and thought “Why?” It was a BS 1361 fuse board so you could not even poke a MCB with a handy billiards cue from the rack.
