[QUOTE="UNG, post: 548744, member: 8931"] Even though the shelf can be removed it doesn't majorly improve the access to the CU and the service head / meter that much and a cupboard with an approx size of 1000mm x 550mm x 700mm will not give enough working space for an electrician to complete a CU change with ease once you factor in the access for tools and test kit Even with the cupboard disassembled to swap the CU once it is reassembled I would suggest that it could still attract a minimum of a C3 code if not now certainly on future EICR's Given that relocating the incoming cable, service head, metering and CU could become a major expense if it was even possible then the alternative is a redesign of the kitchen to improve the ease of access to the electrical equipment Possibly not the solution you wanted but at some point the meter will be time expired and due for change which given the current setup you can't even get to the meter terminals [/QUOTE]
