Zoomup

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?

    . . . Meter installers connect up new meters to grossly undersized and single insulated tails in my experience. . . 

    I suspect a lot of UK Meter Installers are just that. Without being electricians and members of a competent person scheme, they may consider it high risk to replace the tails. 

    Regards,

    Alan. 

    All of the renewed meters/isolators that I have seen have been meticulously installed. The jobs are very well done, but, do the meter installers check the tightness of the consumers tails' terminations inside the consumer's consumer unit, after the tails have been manhandled? They may have come loose.
