I want to have an electricity meter moved about 2.5 inches from the inside wall to the exact position on the outside wall. The wall is a standard one.
It runs from an underground supply which enters the property at the exact spot where I want the meter to be placed.
Having spoken to NPower, I then received over 12 pages of info from Central Networks which was difficult to understand. I rang Central Networks and was told that to do this apparently tiny job would be £400 - even though there is going to be slightly less cable used and it is a case of disconnecting, moving 2-3" and reconnecting. As guessed, it appears this is a monopoly and no-one else can do the job.
Does anyone else have experience of this apparently excessive cost for a very small job?
I would be interested to hear your views.
