How do you contact the DNO and how do you know who the DNO is for a given property?

I know that I'm a qualified sparky, but it's never been something that I've had to do before as I generally work for a larger contractor or company and they deal with all of this.. added to the fact that mostly I've done industrial / commercial stuff..

1/ Ask the customer, details are shown on their Electricity Bill.

2/ This

These are emergency contact numbers so you may have to check individual websites or use the phone book

Ask the customer for a bill from the electric company. On the bill will be an MPAN. The first 2 digits of the MPAN identerfy which DNO area you are in. I have a printed copy of the map from this site in my van and i have updated the numbers,

You used to be able to quote the serial number of the meter to them in order for them to get the details up. Not sure if you can still do this.

Down here it used to be Leb or Eeb and its still stamped on the older meters, i still use the Leb number and it works,for network power or whatever they are now, when they run the postcode through the computer, they tell you if its not them and give you the right number, there very helpfull i find.
