Hello, in preparation for renting out our home we have requested an Electrical Certificate and our electrician is doing a few minor tidy up jobs before the inspection takes place. He has just advised that we should get our circuit board replaced as it is in a plastic casing. The board is on the wall above a cloaks cupboard in the hallway near the front door. Apparently this is now seen as a fire hazard and if it caught fire it would obstruct exiting the building from the front door. However, we live in and upside down house which is a concrete build and there is an external door into the garden and street near the bedrooms. Does this make any difference. The house is about 20 years old and we have experienced no problems with our existing circuit board. We have had a new kitchen fitted recently and the wiring has been certified. Do we really need to change our circuit board now?
