What can I do with a plastic consumer unit

Harry Macdonald

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?

    C3 is fair and I don't think there is an easy way out. Besides wooden boards here and there, I would be more concerned about cables that go to consumers - these seem quite aged and may cause issues. All of these (I think it would be lighting and a corridor) are not in a trunk and are right against the wooden wall. I would check their rating against the fuse these are on and verify the tightness of all contacts.
