Whether this is urgent or simply overdue, the sequence for consumer unit upgrades on a barn conversion does not change much. Materials and methods we spec on barn conversion work: steel conduit for exposed runs; new earth rod; SPD as standard; IP-rated fittings for barn-door and porch zones. The practical question on this job is cable routing planned around stone or brick original, exposed timber, and it is answered by testing rather than by opinion. In Bridgend that usually decides both the scope and the sequence of the visit. Which is why the price follows the test rather than the other way round.
Every circuit affected is identified and labelled, which makes the next person's job — and yours — considerably easier. The regulations are specific about it, so there is little room for opinion. If the property has been altered, extended or let out, consumer unit upgrades on a barn conversion deserves more than a quick look.
