I won't dispute that.Maybe you "fail to see why" no meter guy would do that, but the question is not about the "why" - it's about "whether or not they would" (regardless of the 'why').
If you believe that many, maybe even most, meter guys would do it, that would suggest that you have a lot less experience of meter guys than even I have, which I find fairly hard to believe. However, I have seen such people refuse to change meters for far sillier (and less justified) reasons than those we are discussing - so I definitely would not put any money on them being happy to connect your (SWA) 'tails'.
Kind Regards, John
And to clarify SP didn't actually specify to remove trunking, only to remove the tails from the trunking. It was just easier to remove a few screws and the trunking due to the way the tails entered each end.And just to put the cat amongst the parrots, I have known a situation where the SP would not connect a new service to a rewire as part of a big extension until the steel trunking which the new tails had been run in was removed.
A 3m 25mm² tails kit had been installed so no 'too long' excuses etc.
