i think it was to provide the homeowner with a bit of 'buzz' before he left for work each morning... (apparently he was tasked with writing the 18th regs)... so perhaps he needed it???
OP
Scary thing is is that someone did an eicr back in 2014...and didnt catch it.
The installer had stuck a nice nic eic approved sticker on it...so you know they we're clearly professional.

Dado trunking lid cut to overlap and then sticks like ---- to hold it in place til tomorrow for board change.
Nice patch up
Other reasons to replace the board apart from the big hole at the bottom?
OP
To be fair it was gonna be a board change but it may be left as that. Will look back in tomorrow and determine it then. Other than the two lighting circuits not being covered by rcd there isn't any other reasons.

The patch is fine as long as you used some decent glue thus won't drop off, lack of rcd's only warrants non compliance note but was to regulation when installed if that is what you suspect.
I personally would leave the board as is, explain to the customer there is no reason to upgrade then explain the benefits of a modern board without pushing them into an upgrade and just say you would be happy to quote it if they ever decide to upgrade it.

I simply cannot believe any real sparks would have left the consumer unit like that with a ruddy massive hole in the bottom.
It had to be a builder installer or Diyer ....
