What to change first
- The services and prices. Each module is one group; duplicate one to add a circuit, and keep the count at ten so the rows stay full.
- The emergency line in the head strip and the main switch.
- The line under the panel and its number.
The signature moment
The services are the circuits on a consumer unit, each labelled like the real board
Ten modules of one shape sit in one frame under a head strip, the main switch twice as wide and first, the way a real board is read left to right. Each toggle is a group with a stated minimum height holding a smaller block at its top, the switch "up". The grid is auto-fill from minimumColumnWidth: 9.25rem inside a panel held to 1100px, so twelve slots (the main switch spans two) fill two rows of six on a laptop, three rows of four on a tablet and two across on a phone, where the main switch runs the full width. No width leaves a hole.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives
Overview
A trade's services laid out as the board under the stairs. One framed panel holds a wide main switch and ten identical circuit modules, each a toggle, a number, the service and its starting price, so the list reads as hardware rather than cards. It sits in the features section beside services-bento (six tiles of four shapes), feature-grid (numbered features), services-photo-cards (photographs with the price as a second headline) and feature-cluster-micro (loose micro cards): none encloses identical modules in one frame.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
- Typeface. The base states no font family.
- Palette. Your

Labels are on the label role. Text iscontrastonbase(4.5:1 and up in the stock themes) andbaseoncontrastin the head strip and the main switch.
What it decides for itself
- The heading. The

- The prices. Bold paragraphs at a stated clamp, so they line up.

The Spur look
Part of the Spur Pattern Set, an electrician and plumber in Beeston: switch white #f2f3ef ground, cable black #14181c ink, slate #4a535b muted ink, live blue #1747c9 labels and prices, white cards on a conduit #c5ccd2 hairline, a fuse grey #e2e7ec band, and on the cable-black slab #7ea2ff labels and a signal yellow #ffd21a kept for emergencies. Headings and figures are Arial Black; body, labels and buttons are Arial. Corners are 4px on the panel and buttons, 2px on modules.

Questions
Services consumer unit: common questions
Does Services consumer unit need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Services consumer unit match my theme?
Choose by variation. Board takes your theme’s palette; Spur brings its own colours.
How many variations does Services consumer unit have?
2: Board and Spur. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is Services consumer unit free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
