No - they said it can be moved, they did not say you can move it.
Im sorry I didn't realise that you were listening in on the phone, yes they did say I could move it, that's what I was asking them.
I wonder what else you aren't aware of?
Lots most likely but a few things I do know, I know exactly how my other house was wired and have used this as a model, OK that was done to 16th edition, but in general the houses are the same so it cant be to far off. Also, I know that the wiring in this house was horrendous, mixtures of rings and radials feeding sockets all over the place, only one radial for all the lights up and down, and an old fuse box, with loads of breaks in the wiring with connector blocks. It now has 3 rings, up and down power for the lights, separate radial for the boiler, 10mm cable for the cooker and a new consumer unit with RCDs etc.
Right as far as new meter tails. They are not in yet. You mention fuses to protect the tails as opposed to the fuses protecting the incoming mains cable. OK but apparently that only applies if the tails are over 3m. WHY? What difference does it make in the length? After all one end of the tails is the consumer unit and the other end the incoming fuse box. The tails will be in a conduit so are mechanically protected and as far as under fault conditions I cannot see what makes the difference between 3m or 7m. After all 3m of tails do not need another set of fuses!
