I replaced this recessed consumer unit this week for a customer that I was recommended to by my NICEIC inspector. I can’t remember the last time (if ever) I replaced a recessed one! Personally I would have gone with a dual stacker but the customer wanted to keep it as small as possible so I made good with a bit of plasterboard along the top ready for redecorating/panelling.
Testing the installation I found a couple of high resistance connections on a socket circuit, an immersion heater stat with no thermal cutout, and a couple of out of date smoke detectors.
