Could someone please tell me what the minimum height from the ground level to the bottom of both the gas and electric meter boxes should be. Both boxes a the flush type. I have read on a few pages they should be 450mm for electric and 500mm for gas however I have seen properties in my area...

Thanks guys. The back of the box will be covered by studwork/insulation/plasterboard/plaster/paint :) so that is not an issue. The meter will be less than 2 metres from the front of the property.

Just wanted to know if this can be done. I need to move my gas meter as I'm doing a garage conversion. I was going to stick a semi-concealed box on the front of the house but having looked at one I don't like it. So the option is to stick a flush gas meter box on the side of the garage but this...

Chappers, spoke to the BCO again today, was told Tri-ISO can't be used. However they did come up with another solution: 50mm ventilation, 50mm celotex, Thinsulex I will still lose about 30mm more than I want to but its better 75mm.

Currently doing a garage conversion on a house that I recently bought. Using Celotex with a thickness of 75mm for the floor and walls won't be a problem. However have had the building regs round today and they are stating that for the roof we need to have a 50mm ventilation gap and then 125mm...
