Mornin' all,

Would you say that the above regulation covers a large old farm barn, now used as a workshop/man cave/motorbike storage area/snooker room? The old barn is over 100 years old. It has thick solid walls and is attached to a modernish bungalow, but with no direct access to the bungalow. Basically can I install a plastic cased consumer unit?

  • It's arguable. On the one hand, the premises include the main building, outbuildings, and grounds. On the other hand, a (large) garage could be fitted out like a small unit on an industrial estate.

    Or again, imagine a terrace in a market town. The premises in what amounts to one building could include dwellings, shops, and workshops. It seems odd that different types of CU would be permitted.

    The problem is that “domestic” and “household” are not defined in BS 7671.
