I have a situation that seems crazy to me. The electricity supplier wanted a meter change. That seemed simple but when the technician arrived to change the meter he refused to do the job because the board it is fixed too is loose. This was raised with the DNO Scottish Power Networks.
One of their guys came and said that the main fuses are wrong and the incoming cable needs rerouted. I have no experience of this sort of lead sheathed cable, it was probably installed in the 1930s when the place was built.
How hard is it to joint to this cable? I’m not going to try it myself but wonder if the DNO can do a joint under the floor. They are sending an excavation supervisor to look at the job next month but I’d like to have an idea of what is possible. It is a 3 phase supply, 2 phases supply the church and halls and the third supplies a caretaker’s flat on the first floor.
