Hello,

I want to re-site the consumer unit in my garage so that I can install a "round the corner" garage door.

Is there any rule that says the consumer unit has to be close to the garage door itself or can I get it moved to the back of the garage?

At the moment the meter is to one side of the garage door with a separate isolator switch above it. 10 mm (I think) go from the isolator to the consumer unit which would need renewing and extending to the new position.

What should an electrician do with all the cablles that exit the consumer unit to feed the house? Can they all be terminated in some sort of junction box and then continued to the consumer unit?

I DON'T intend to do this myself but would just like a bit of info that will help me avoid the sort of bodger I posted about earlier

Thanks

David Lloyd
