Hi i have just rewired the entire house and now plan to fit a split
load
consumer unit to replace the old fused cu. I have been told to mount
the new CU on a fireproof board.-

By who?
Also, where do you live, and what are the building
materials used near where you are fitting the CU?

By the bloke from Scottish Power.

I live in Edinburgh, the CU is currently mounted straight onto a
plaster skimmed brick wall

The only place I know of where this is required is Ireland,
and only for timber framed houses AFAIK. There is no such
requirement in the UK. In any case, a plaster skimmed brick
wall is about as fireproof as you can get...
