reconnecting the electric from a demolished building

[EFLImpudence]

Dose the spark need to be qualified?

Actually - no - but he has to be competent.

 

[bernardgreen]

an enclosure (cabinet) big enough to enclose the mains service head and fuse

and it has to have a cable entry that meets the DNO requirement.

 

[flameport]

is the insulation cost less for the temp cabinet?

No, it's much more expensive and inconvenient as you will have to pay for the temporary supply, and then pay for the permanent one, and then pay to have the temporary one removed.

who supplies the cabinet?

You do, meaning even more cost on top of the extra costs for the temporary supply.

Could it not be done so that the "temporary" supply is permanent, i.e. remains after the new building is up, with a cable run from the kiosk to the CU in the building?

 

[Murdochcat]

OP - may be give us more information about the site, the location of the incoming main - i.e. how has it been left?

Theoretically, but this really depends on whether the supply for temporary purposes is the same as the permanent one, which all depends on what is being built.

with a cable run from the kiosk to the CU in the building?

For a single domestic dwelling perhaps.

No idea what the OP is intending to build there.

DNO is the local power company who are responsible for the cable to the property - they will not add the meter

And yes you would have to prepare an enclosure (cabinet) big enough to enclose the mains service head and fuse, the meter and what ever fuseboard the competent spark doing the work fits. Be aware that you will almost certainly be asked for a certificate for the fuseboard

Can you buy the cabinet off the shelf?

again nothing, only need electrics for lights and CCTV

Which will need at least a small, permanent structure - why not build, and roof the permanent structure first, then organise a suitable place in that for your permanent supply?

Pricing is individual to the works. You contact Northern Powergrid, tell them what you want and they tell you how much.

Greetings!

So where a building has typically been demolished by a demolition company. How do you reconnect the electric back?

Can an electrician do it on site, or dose the electric board need to do it externally?

Thanks

What exactly are you wanting?

It may not even require any attention from DNO/energy supplier if the position doesn't change.

Do you mean old shipping containers used for storage?

Shipping containers with no lighting, no heating, no cooling?

so the price of the cabanet and price of supply will depend upon how much electric supply I will need?
