[QUOTE="Billy sheds, post: 550044, member: 34672"] Hi, My son is in the process of trying to sell his old (circa 1889) semi in Sheffield. The purchaser's structural surveyor has said, and I quote "According to building regulations, the consumer unit should be enclosed in a cabinet or enclosure constructed of non-combustible material such as steel. we recommend you engage a qualified electrical engineer, registered with NICEIC, to replace the unit. They also suggest, quite correctly that the services be tested and an EICR issued. My understanding is that if the MCBs and RCDs are OK the Cu does NOT need to be changed. Please can anyone clarify this and provide ammo for my little boy ( he's 6' 6" and 45 years old!). Many thanks [/QUOTE]
