Consumer units not usable any more (domestic)

Appreciate this is more for rec's in the domestic sector but open to all opinions and views.

With the 25 square mains now more and alot more cables are other contractors finding the likes of the plastic boards just not fit for purpose?

In terms of connections in neutral and earth, no 25 square and not capable of 16 square panel flex in a ferrule.

Me personally I'm using garo metal boards but finding them tight, I'd like to introduce a more commercial bigger panel into the domestic sector but it's opposition from home owners and engineers.

Doesn't the main neutral and earth clamps hold the 25sq ?

Think there's a clamp on the MET on the plastic boards , not worked on them lately

16 square is a push, no hope of a 16 square ferrule. Adding din rail strip is just messy but get ones out a hole. Loosing MCB space then.
