Best RCBO consumer unit

So, your chosen electricians can’t be up to much then? Instead of using their advice/knowledge you would rather do your own research, which basically consists of coming on here and asking other electricians..

Hi Charlie, yet another rude comment from you, once I have read your lame reply I will be leaving this Forum. You are an oxygen thief.

Lewden appaears to be the most cost effective.

Also late in,

I only install Rcbo boards if I'm supplying materials.

OP you've had lots of good advice, although I did skip some posts. I'd like more clients to provide materials, one less thing to worry about. If you're still wanting Rcbo on a budget:
BG: not fitted many as I don't like the brand but they've installed ok.
Contactum: fitted more and I like these, not had a problem.
Live: are a bargain but bring a holesaw. I use wiska t&e glands for cable entry and the access for these is below par imo. Be prepared for a struggle aligning front panel and fixing screws, you pays your money etc...
Where budget is slim these boards have been acceptable to me.

If cost isn't a option then my preference is Wylex .. However I've recently been installing Lewden RCBO boards with surge protection as the cost has been considerably cheaper than Hager & Wylex.
Lewden offer A type RCBOs but they are not included in their populated boards. I don't think MK offer A type RCBOs yet they also don't offer surge protection devices.

I’ve been installed Lewden RCBO for years with only 1 RCBO failure. I’ve fitted lots of their 19 way boards too.

I recently installed a 10 way in a remote games room in a garden with batten & board onto block work. I mounted the back onto the block, meaning just the lid is protruding, which looks pretty good.
