Looks good. Bargain at that price. MCBs look faily standard so you can put what you like in it. It would have to meet stringent quality checks so I reckon its worth a look.

Toolstation are doing a cheap one like that think its CED

That would be the BG brand I assume, Denmans sell some of it. It looks OK on your photo. Also looks familiar much like the Demnans Steeple range .

I generally would only install high integrity ones so you can put cooker on Rcbo but as a rule I go Rcbo route so won't be buying any, but BG stuff is generally not bad quality although I don't use much of it apart from pendant sets and a few other bits and pieces but it will be to British standard so hopefully will be ok.

Ah thats right , they do those excellent ceiling roses with the big square knockout and the offset fixing holes, don't they ?

BG stuff is supposed to be made in England , I don't know how true that is, I hope it is true.
