Consumer unit relocation Discussion ThreadConsumer unit relocation Electrical Advice
Sorry, I know this has probably been covered, but I'm struggling to find a recent and specific answer.
Old 1930's bungalow. Really old CU tucked in the corner of the old converted garage, slightly behind a wall, so barely accessible now. Definitely needs moving, but want to move it toward the main building as we're doing a complete rewire inside.
Don't want to pay the DNO £2.5k they've quoted to move the incoming, so want to move just the board away from the meter and CO fuse.
I've pictured an isolator that our supplier fitted when we moved in.
Now, am I right in thinking this isn't enough to allow me to move the board. I need to add a fused isolator after this one?
Or, is this isolator enough, and I can run separate cables from here, to where I want the new board to be? Or even connect it to an SWA cable to run it round.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but the chap that fitted the isolator gave me a different one, so wanted to make sure before I make a horlicks of it and do something stupid
