Or make the cable rear entry into the CU. Drill and cut, or use the rear
knock-outs, where you want the cables to enter. You can then use the one
block idea to fix the consumer unit.


That would mean getting cables into the cavity though!

Even if you push the cabling over, under, to the sides of the consumer unit,
where the space is, in the surrounding blocks? How many fixings are holding
the CU? One at either side, near the top, and two through the bottom into
the blocks. You don't need any across the top. Leave the top as free space
to accept you cabling.

Just another little thought.
