New Consumer Unit in the Clouds.

Zoomup
I recently did some work in a man's garage. He had had a new consumer unit fitted about two years ago. He is not able to use steps as he is overweight and unsteady on his feet. A local N.I.C.E.I.C electrician installed the lovely new M.K. consumer unit. Unfortunately it is 10 feet above the floor and needs steps to access it. What was the contractor thinking about when he installed it?

    "New Builds" (say done during the last 30 or 40 years or so) contain many consumer units in totally daft places with no respect for the H & S of the user. I stopped being amazed a long time ago.


    Can we make it more non-user-friendly? Yes. Oh good


    Yes, new houses with the high level consumer unit over the W.C. bowl in a small cupboard by the front door,  where it is just about possible to site a pair of steps there to work on the consumer unit. Wheel chair access? You've got to be joking.
