you cannot fit the lid, as some of the wires come out the front via what should be the gap between body and lid...

I agree if that was not the case, it's probably not actually immediately dangerous, (apart perhaps from the ends of the bus-bar) but it is, to put it as nicely as possible, dog rough, and almost impossible to see what is going on and check with confidence.


I think sometimes a well done DIY job is preferable to a contractor in a hurry to be honest.


My point with that picture is that it is work like that which is the real CU fire risk, and the cause of the updated regs,  and it is being done by folk calling themselves the professionals.

The KMF, or a REC2 or a single RCD in a single plastic box, is a lot less risky, as there are far fewer connections, and the chance of getting it wrong is almost nil.
