Have a modern digital 3ph meter which was installed about 4 years ago (meter located in the kitchen of a 60's bungalow) along with PME earthing. However, the meter and incoming fuses / connection blocks are still mounted on what looks like the original chipboard backboard. This has seen better days, and a couple of the connection blocks are a bit wobbly. Crucially though, I would like to relocate the fuses / connection blocks higher up to gain some room for a bigger CU, which is to be mounted on the adjacent wall.
My electrician cannot obviously do any of this as it will involve removing meter seals, so my question is, is it something my electricity supplier (BG / Siemens) will do if I provide a new backboard ready to fix to the original mounting locations in the wall, and new longer meter tails?
If so, will say 18mm ply be suitable?
Oh, and yes I know I should just call my supplier and ask, but just know I will get some call-centre muppet that won't know what the hell I'm talking about!
Thanks.
