[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 44393, member: 2683"] I had the same problem about a year ago with the cu situated under the kitchen units, in a corner. When they had the kitchen fitted the corgi plumber suggested they move the gas meter because it would be hard to access after. They called the gas board who moved the gas meter no problem. The electrician did his first and second fix in one go and left the cu in its original position. The result was for any work to be done on that installation half the kitchen had to be removed. Electricity at work act comes to mind when, as an electrician you have to work on an installation where ease of access and safe working could not be covered. I asked to see the certificates the electrician had given them, "certificates? he did not give us anything but the bill". To answer your other question follow andyc's advise if it is TN-S then export the earth, allow for the assumption that your installation mey be added to and please please make sure you only certificate for your work, number of points,r1+r2, end to end continuity, on rings, then you have proof that the work was added to at a later stage. The NICEIC do a cu label that if removed shows as void, great for when you have done the work right and can prove the cu has been opened later by bob the builder. [/QUOTE]
