We are having the electric meter moved from inside the house to gain space and it is going on an outside wall. The CU will be inside, just under the ceiling. The intention is to run the tails and earth inside conduit from the outside surface mount meter cabinet, up the wall and in behind the cu. Can plastic conduit be used for this? Impact resistant? Obviously good protection is required. Otherwise I assume that metal conduit is the answer. If it's metal I assume that it has to be earth bonded.
For anyone interested, Aquila charge £390 to move the meter when under 5m. This is based on you digging the trench, drilling any holes in walls, providing and installing the meter cabinet, cable ducting, flexible cable ducting and yellow safety tape (all Jewsons). They just provide the cable, move the meter and connect it up! So not a cheap job!
