The perfect solution (for the
cupboard) would be a 'stacked' 8 + 8 unit but, in the UK anyway,
stacked CUs are rare and flush mounting stacked ones non-existent.Â* I
have found one from Garo but they're an Irish firm and I'm not really
sure about standards conformance.


You could use 2 consumer units with a "Henley" block.Â* Not as compact as
a stacked unit but then again they don't need to equal sizes.


PS

Just recalled that you can get stacking kits for some CUs which avoid
the need for the block. But I've never used them so you'd need advice
from those who have on the pros and cons. (FWLIW I've always wondered
about space for cable management if there's not a nice balance between
top and bottom entry.)

Yes, MK do them, but they're only for the surface mount CUs, not for
the flush mounting ones. If not found stacking kits from other
manufacturers.
