Replacement consumer unit. Listed building consent ?

Hi guys. I have been asked to replace a consumer unit in a listed building. A domestic apartment to be precise. The existing consumer unit is a bog standard plastic split load board fitted probably 20 years ago. Am I likely to require any sort of permission as the building is listed. There are no other works involved so not altering any existing or historical features. Cheers. Gary

  • Chris. I believe both the owner and contractor are responsible for damage to a listed building

    True, but it is the owner who has to deal with the issue of obtaining consent.

    I cannot see how a more or less like-for-like replacement of a CU would affect the character of a building, but installing an additional one might be a different matter.
