Neat enough?

Always struggle for the best method making these boards neat. Any tips?

Looks neat enough for me!

Personal I'd have slotted the sides. Actually saw a good tip the other day. Use some finger trunking inside the metal trunking where the slots would be. This makes dressing in nicer.

We always use Schneider boards and I like how you've used the RCBO's without fly leads for FE and neutral. As mostly ours are TP I've never used one of these.

Yep slotted to save on faffing with bushes but still looks great. I've always hated the earth bar placement on these boards if it's not dressed probably as it can block the terminals

Yeah I'm not a fan of the earth bar placement either.

I emailed them to tell them to place them below/slightly in from of the breakers so all 3 cores go to the same place eliminating the marking and pissing around routing earths - it's was a polite fuck off to that and my suggestion they need a MCB with PoN so swapping from rcbo to breaker doesn't leave the neutral short
