TBH you haven't looked very hard, try ringing your wholesalers, you can get enclosures to fit modular gear with pre-fitted DIN at most of them so scratching my head as to why your struggling, also you could just buy a adaptable box and fit a din rail in it.

Hi DiggerJ. When you say that you want to install them in an 'enclosure similar to a Consumer unit housing' do you mean that you want to assess the relays by a hinged door on the enclosure? Not really a good idea unless you are going to make sure you can't get to any of the mains supplied terminals.
Have a look at CPC web site and see if they have the enclosure you want.

I want to see the led lights to confirm the relay is on (or off) so if the Heat Pump is not working I know it is not the switch that is faulty (not operating). I have looked at many catalogues and seen nothing that I made for the purpose

I want to be able to see if the switch is operating (with the light showing when on). I've had trouble thinking that the Heat Pump wasn't working and complained to the manufacturer; but then found it was actually my relay that had stopped functioning.
So one with a transparent door would be ideal, but as I said cant see anything made for this purpose

Why are them clear lid adaptable boxes not suitable then? Have you got a pic of these switches?

This is probably what you want

Power - General Purpose | CPC UK

You'll need a box, dinrail, screws, empty fair liquid bottle etc.......

You can get some dinrail relays with plug in LED indicator lamps which is where I was attempting to allude towards.....

Could install these led indicators in this enclosure so he can see the LED's and mount the relays in a separate din rail adaptable box.
