2 weeks ago, I did an EICR at this property.
I had no trouble accessing the CU and it even had a cover over the MCB's then.
Today I went back, to fit smoke, heat and CO alarms. I was told I didn't need to fit a CO alarm in the utility room (where the CU is located) because the boiler that was in there was being removed.
Looks like the plumber has already been (sorry it's a lousy photograph)

The MCB cover has been discarded as it otherwise would not open.
It now seems if I want to get into the CU I have to first remove an expansion vessel.
Oh and the new tank has an immersion heater. Strange I thought, it was a combi boiler before so there was no circuit for an immersion heater. There still isn't a circuit for an immersion heater, so I followed the flex from it, and it plugs into a 13A socket behind the washing machine. Oh and the immersion was turned on all the time with no way of the tenant even knowing how to turn it on and off.
