Evening all. I am quoting some alteration work in an HMO where they are adding 2 bathrooms and a bedroom.
The main board is down in the cellar and there is a sub board on the 1st floor landing in the stair core. Its a 'Steeple' board I believe a Denmans branded board. It is in a bad way, front not fitted properly and blanks missing, you can see the bus bar when you lift the cover .
I may or may not be able to get some blanks and refit the cover correctly to tidy it up but, I think I am going to advise the landlord to upgrade to a AM3 compliant non-combustible board as it seems nuts to me that this is on the only escape route from the top floor and it is not in any type of non-combustible enclosure.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. i.e. Would you agree the upgrade should be done? This is a new customer and second job and I don't want him thinking I am creating work but I feel it is unsafe as is. Also I will be modifying circuits which come from this board.
