What can I do with a plastic consumer unit

This installation has received a C3.

I am tempted to do nothing as an electrician has quoted about £600 to replace the lot with a board full of RCBOs.

Is there a simple way of improving the fire rating?

  • We don't do much in the domestic side but for tenanted properties I think it reasonable to advise the landlord about the concerns relating to plastic consumer units.  I am not so sure about mentioning the issue in privately owned dwellings providing all seems good. No sense in worrying people unnecessarily. We don't use the standard Appendix 6 forms, preferring instead, to note the observation against each check.

  • That sounds to me that you want to give a C2 if it is under the stairs, etc.
