Really nice work that consumer unit. How many times do you remove the cover off a CU and are aghast at what you see? This is the standard that everybody should try to attain.

Really like the cable tray, looks cracking. once I get out my flat and get a house I think ill do something along these lines.

only thing I'd change is I hate dual rcd boards. Rcbo's is the way to go on rewires IMO, however you've done a great job, lovely and neat.

Thank you nice of you to say so , do prefer rcbo's my self but customers wont pay the extra do wish they would give a little more space so they can accommodate rcbo's easier

Loaded Consumer Units - Allaboutelectrics.co.uk

Anyone tried one of these? price looks alright....£81+VAT for 8 RCBOs in a 10way consumer unit.

Yes, they are the one Denmans use, have installed a couple on family members homes and had no problems so far, on has been in for over 2 years now. The individual RCBOs are only about £10 each to, the extra height is to accomadate the RCD module so plenty of space in them too.

nice , Id say a little overkill for a domestic install but nice install all the same. Certainly not done in 1-2 days ;p.

Nice job , I'd love to find a domestic customer who would pay for tray in the attic

 

[iamelectric]

cracking job but all the money in the world wouldn't have been enough for me to take all that insulation out , crazy!!

 

[nickblake]

tray cost £25.00 inc standoffs , i include it in the cost of the rewire , great if they are going to board the loft cables are out of the way , it took 7 days start to finish including all the removal of insulation and disinfection of attic ,all chased and patched , it has 4 ring mains , bit over the top but good separation between the rcd's

4 rings how things have changed , gone of the days dropping a plum bob down the cavity, 1 ring for the whole house ,
