MICC replacement help

[Spunkywads26]

I've been given a job to rewire an upstairs flat and change the CU. I had a quick look around and everything is pretty straight forward except for the CU.

The existing CU is located in the small entry hall way at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the flat. It is mounted at high level opposite the front door. The meter is located in an external cupboard next to the front door. 16mm tails come from the meter into a henley block with MICC from the henley block to the CU.

I'm struggling to think of a solution to replace the MICC. Help. Please. Pretty Please.

Rip out MICC for the inferior tat of today , the mind bogles....

I am not understanding the reason for replacement.

I would be looking at replacing the whole lot back to the meter cabinet not the Henley block. Installing a distribution circuit if need be.

I am not understanding the reason for replacement.

I am guessing because it is surface fixed to the existing CU.

The op is changing the cu, so it will be straight forward, metal clad cu, existing MICC bushed up from the bottom, can't see a problem with that Westie.

I suspect the client does not like the aesthetics of the surface cable assuming that is how it is fitted.
