Hi there, so the situation is that currently, the mains electric supply cable comes from the road to a meter, which is mounted in a recessed wall box on the front wall. From there, power is run to a consumer unit directly inside, behind the meter box, this is in our existing kitchen.
We are completely re-designing the house and our current kitchen won’t be in that location. Our new utility room will be in an extension located to the rear of our current house, about 10m from our existing front wall. So, am I stuck with the consumer unit in the current location, or can some really heavy duty cables be run the distance to a new consumer unit located in the extension? Ideally, I don’t want the CU where it is....
Many thanks for your advice
