If you're concerned about Part P (Building Regulations), remember that it only applies to dwellings, not commercial / industrial applications.

If you're concerned about BS7671, if the system was installed to the regulations at the time of installation, it's deemed acceptable by the current regulations.

Therefore, you will be ok. However as previously mentioned by others, common-sense would say it's not a good idea. Suggest your changes to the client in a presumptive way, I'm sure they'll be ok given the circumstances.

I don't agree. If you make changes which reduce access to electrical equipment (513.1) or subject the equipment to more severe environmental conditions (512.2), then the system may no longer conform with BS 7671, even if it did when installed.

Not saying that this is necessarily the case here, although I think that the electrical cupboard would be better left in the corridor rather than having access restricted.

12C I disagree commercial or industrial can still come under Part P scope if there is a dwelling attached to the installation.
