Hi
I have my neighbours main incoming fuse in my house, It seems that both our houses are feed by one main incoming supply cable which is then feeding 2 fuses (My Main fuse and next door fuse) and a neutral terminal block. My neighbours main tails go from the fuse and neutral block in my house, through the wall via a steel conduit into his Meter then his consumer unit. Both houses are ex-council houses.
Please can somebody answer a few questions...
1. Is this legal, regarding building regulations?
2. Im having a new kitchen fitted and want the steel conduit containing the neighbours tails removing as it is really ugly. Would I be ok to ask the neighbour to get a new supply cable fitted just for his house as I dont want his fuse and conduit in my house?.
3. Is the main supply cable large enough for both our houses these days as our houses are nearly 50 years old and the electrical demand these days are more now than 50 years ago?.
4. How much would the local electricity board charge for a new supply?.
I hope somebody can help with these questions.
Many thanks
Mark
