Is a metal or plastic fuse box better?
Should I get a new metal or plastic fuse box? My old one needs replacing and I’ve seen different advice.

Personally I don’t think you should get either, what you should do is, contact a registered tradesman with over at least 100 reviews, a feedback score of no lower than 9 and one who is local to you, he will then call to see you (being local) assess your job and provide a estimate for the works.

If you are going to replace the old one you definitely need metal box.

Obviously needs a metal one due to the regs, reckon you should call an electrician for advice.

It is the recommendation to get a metal RCD protected consumer unit. This can be verified online by using a simple search. Plastic is old style.
