Which way additional consumer board or use existing

[terrynye]

I'm having an extension built, electrics are going to plan. Socket cables are in (went for new ring in the end), light cables and I decided to add a feed for the shed which comes in on 2.5 anaconda.
My question is should I add a new consumer board using 10mm twin off a space in the existing consumer board. 40a MCB.
Was think of this
British General 8-Module 6-Way Part-Populated Main Switch Consumer Unit | Domestic Consumer Units | Screwfix.com - https://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-8-module-6-way-part-populated-main-switch-consumer-unit/8847j
or take cables back to the existing consumer box which has enough spaces, I've also left all cables long enough for both ways to work.

Thanks
Terry

If the CU is ok for the new circuit then why would you want to add another CU?
What benefits would you have for adding another CU?
I take it that you are notifying this work?
Are you also doing all the testing?

Terry, what do you want the new CU for along with the 10mm2 cable? you have stated you have alreadtcatered for the shed via a 2.5mm2 cable I'm confused.

Anaconda is a type of flexible conduit, or it was when I was on the tools. May be weloff here but when I used it, it was a sealed conduit, sealed for liquids, which makes me wonder WTF did we use it for?

In which case he needs to talk to his BCO!

I see not much has changed during my self-imposed exile! Some spark will be getting a call soon along the lines of "could you just do me a cert for some work iv'e had done as the electrician is ill at the moment"......Dear me.

I got asked to look at a job WIP recently .......... the diyer wanted me to test, inspect and sign off ......... a quick glance around at the 1st fix told me enough to decline to get involved...............

Bold statement considering the shed bonding requirements and type of earthing questions haven't yet surfaced

And don't be concerned about notification,I'm sure one of the lads here will supply you a eicr to cover that if needed
