moving a fuse box

[ngater]

Hi

Am in the process of moving to a 3 bed semi that is in need of some/full rewiring (Which I will be getting quotes for soon). As part of this I want to get the fuse box moved ...... Will this need to be done by my local electricity board or can a qualified electrician do this??

If it is the local electricity board how do I get in touch with them - have looked on their website and can find little about it. For reference I live in Stockport.

Many thanks

Your electrician will be able to reposition the CU, within reason (there are limits to the length of meter tails). If there isn't one already there, get your supplier to fit an isolation switch (when you track them down) - it'll make your electricians job easier.

Once the Cables leave the meter, they become the consumers responsibility.

Between the Incomer Head and the meter they may be willing to fit an isolator as this is their responsibility, however, they may make you pay for this as presently there is no legal requirement to fit one.

Quite a lot of suppliers seem to do it for free, but there is no guarantee.
