Is your CU tidy inside?

Relatively so, the spaghetti over to the right isn't as bad as it looks!
Don't panic too much about the "telephone" cable, bottom right, it is
the feed to the door bell.

There's not much spare height there for single module RCBOs...




In the worst case, you could replace your CU with a bigger one to give
you
more space.


I am fortunate that the CU is mounted on a panel that in turn is mounted
on 2" X 2" battens so there is a reasonable amount of space behind it,
unfortunately many of the cables were bundled together when it was
installed and trying to get a bit of slack to move them around may be
difficult, but not impossible. My only restriction in size is that I
cannot fit a longer unit, I would need to go for a second one above the
existing one.

You may have to crimp extensions onto some of the circuit ends...
especially if the neutrals have been cut shorter than the lives (they
both need to reach the RCBO)
