I have a fuse box come meter cupboard under the stairs.I want to put a toilet there so need the fusebox/meter moving about a metre .How much should i pay roughly and is it easy/straight forward job.?

you will have to move everything out of the toilet including the cut out fuse and meter so this could involve getting the feed to the house in a diffrent way off the electric board which would be costly!

hard to say without seeing it, but more then likely looking at the best part of Ł500

Same again, its hard to say without looking, could you arrange a picture maybe?

a possibility is getting some boxing made which covers the full electricity boards supply/meter (with access if needed), then re-route the fuseboard to the other side of the wall, if you can get it done on a cheap/mate, it should cost no more than 150 quid

Unless it will go to the otherside of the wall without disconnection, the supplier will need to do it, the meter is their property. Electricians can only touch from the fuseboard! ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ

that job as you need to move the incoming supply can only be done by your ele supplier,if you do move it by not using them they could take you to court

ahh that is a bit of a bastard, looks like its going to cost you big mate, + there is no DP isolator in place, so electricity board would have to disconnect your meter tails and reconnect if you moved the consumer unit

can you not go 3 foot the other way?

CHRISP

as said mate you're going to need a double pole switch fitted by your supplier, your meter tails look a little under sized as well though it may just be the pic

If i get the electric supplier to move the meter,how much would a sparkie charge to move the fuse box.??

vernam616

will have to move the whole lot, would mean digging the mains incoming cable up, jointing it and re-routing, and we are talking big money here, never heard of someone doing it but expect at very least a grand just to move it

Looks like the meter tails from boards fuse - meter are 16mm and the tails - D/B are 25mm
