Skeleton board? How do I get around this?

[ppelec100]

Been asked to move, remove and add some sockets the kitchen and I’ll need to add a circuit for an electric hob.
Looked at the board and it’s one of those Wylex skeleton boards (image attached). Doesn’t look like much room in there to get a new consumer unit installed. I’ve never had to deal with replacing these boards.

Main question
What’s the solution?
I was thinking of bring the cables to out above the cupboard if I can and put the new CU there. Cables that aren’t long enough I will be able to extend from inside the cupboard above the meter

Curious hypothetical questions
1. If there were spare ways would it be allowed to add a new circuit to a 3036 fuse providing that the circuit meets the max Zs values?

2. What would stop you in terms of regs from adding to a 3036 if the cable didn’t need additional protection?

3. Can you make additions or alterations to existing circuits which are fed by 3036 fuses? Or do they need to be upgraded?

Thanks for any answers in advance

Thank you for these answers guys they’ve really scratched the itch my mind was having

I’ll have to get someone to test and sign the work off for me since I haven’t got my 2391 yet and not part of a CPS. Working towards that

What’s the solution?

Replace the old skeleton board with a new skeleton board.

With what looks like only 5 circuits you can probably put a little 5 way garage consumer unit in there if money is tight
