It looks designed to be an outdoor socket outlet. However, I think I can see why the sparkie is keen to see it replaced - Looking at how painted up it is, my concern would be whether the condition would still allow it to readily act as a disconnecting device.
When it comes to outdoor socket outlets, something like this tends to be our go-to -
Pretty much a standard 2x4 or 4x4 socket outlet in a PSO-1, PSO-2 or S15 enclosure.

It definitely seems designed to be an outdoor socket outlet. Very rugged and the metal chosen does not rust (where exposed). You do raise a good point about it being painted as it seems to have accumulated a couple of layers of paint.Originally Posted by Dave A

Ja the ALLBRO socket boxes look like a good option.
