Thanks all for your input. I'll try to address everyone's comments now. Sorry If I miss anyone out:
Anthony: I can't use the first floor void easily, if at all, as the room above is the master bed and fully decked out with fitted wardrobes right on top of that particular area and extending the full length of the room. The floor covering is carpet, but underneath is that dreaded green interlocking cb panels which the wardrobes are built off of.
Dave: The 4 circuits are nothing special. Just sockets, cooker, lights up and down. But the incomer has a 100 amp fuse in it, and I don't like to give the chaps at NICEIC reason to have a dig, if they inspect the job.
Spin: Thanks for that mate. So your man had no problem with the tails in galvy, but did he just want them grey sheathed like normal tails? Thats interesting that it would matter in the galvy trunking.
In conclusion I am with telectrix. I reckon popping an RCBO unit in the meter cabinet would save a whole load of headache and money. I am going to revisit that idea and see if things can be jiggled around a bit to make a little more room. If they're worried about the security of someone being able to gain access to the CU I'll install a locking one. I guess anyone could just pop the fuse anyway.
OK folks, I will have another look and let you know what I decide upon.
Thanks again to all for your 10 cents worth. It great having a few extra minds shooting ideas in the air.
