Above my front door I have a board which has a few things fixed to it.
The main fuse, the electric meter, a Henley block (which is no longer needed and should be removed), two junction boxes, an 80 amp Switch fuse. a 13 amp socket.
All would be good except that the board seems to be a piece of some old furniture and is chipboard faced with some sort of plastic to make it look like wood. It has been damp for years (the leaking roof is now fixed). I’d like to replace it with a decent piece of plywood but how do I get the meter refitted to a new plywood board?
I wondered about cutting the existing one and leaving the meter and incoming stuff on the old one and letting the DNO deal with it if they ever do a meter change but I wondered who is responsible for providing a decent board to fix their stuff to.
Any suggestions for the best way forward?
