Hi, having got some useful advice and assistance from people on this forum I thought I'd put up the job here too.
I'm looking to get a new Consumer Unit installed to replace my ancient one (pictured). I also want to increase the electrical capacity of my 1930's house by adding a new 32A ring main, with sockets in the loft. There are currently no sockets in the loft, only 1 light fitting which on inspection doesn't work. I'm located near Stalybridge. Would anyone like to quote for this job?
Thanks.

What were the circumstances or the fault finding that instigated that Clown company to attach the "at risk" sticker on your dated but nevertheless robust consumer unit

There seems to be nothing wrong with it, but I believe it obviously isn't up to today's standards - nothing like a bit of scaremongering to drum up business I suppose?!

When was the repair done? Was it recent?
I wouldn't trust a British Gas person. It's all about money with them.
Listen, don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right.

I wouldn't trust a British Gas person. It's all about money with them. It was a year or two ago. I don't think it even had anything to do with the boiler, it would've been ostensibly a 'health check' or something along those lines, but the wiring wasn't tested or anything.

Pete999 said: Any sort of paperwork produced, apart from the extortionate bill? Haha luckily it was part of the Homeserve insurance policy so no bill! Would have to dig out paperwork if I still have it, but pretty sure there was no detail about electrical stuff, just a case of, "This is an old fusebox, you should get a new fusebox" I think.
"This is an old fusebox, you should get a new fusebox"
"and it just so happens that BG have an offer on. we can replace it for £800+ VAT"

Home Serve, now there is a misnomer He was probably no more an Electrician the the bloke who turned up at mine to repair a leak was a Plumber, he was about 17 had to borrow tools, told him to sling his hook, and immediately canceled the agreement with HS, bunch of wannabe tradesmen. I hope you realise that if they turn up and in the process of trying to repair whatever, and they bust something, that is not covered, Home Serve, Home Scam more likely.
