Hunt the Consumer Unit

tudge56 · Feb 26, 2015

Went to do a quote for a lady who's lived in her flat for 10 years and has never found the consumer unit! Victorian House converted into 3 flats. One flat the CU is outside the flat door. Her's is ground floor and I had a good poke around cupboards, above units etc. but no sign of it...anyone got any ideas???? Communal hallway has suppliers cut out and isolator for each flat but that's it....

Just run it with every circuit overloaded for a while then find where all the smoke and flames are coming from.

That's the Geordie Method #1

I think I've still got the white vinyl single (with Teeties on) that came with the Black & White album somewhere.

On a serious note have you looked behind kitchen unit back boards, any false panels etc?

We found 3 dist boards behind a plasterboard wall after a while of cable tracing....
