If you care to read the BPG linked in this thread, you'll see that Electrical Safety First suggest doing what you've suggested, is not an option in a domestic property. They are referring to reg 412.1.5, which in my yellow copy is 412.1.3, I believe.
Edit, and even if the OP has dropped a clanger, as some suggest, its not his responsibility to rectify at his own expensive, something that existed before the replacement of the CU.
Your not the first to suggest this FOC thing, but its not his work that is faulty, so to suggest such, is frankly absurd from a business point of view.
