i know that there are posts with the same topic but i feel my situation is a bit different to the others, hence the reason for the post.
I have recently purchased a proporty in Herts and want to move an electric meter and fuse box from the kitchen wall. This is so i can knock the wall down and extend the kitchen. The new location is under the stairs around 3m away.
I have contacted the electrical distributer (edf Energy) and they want £550 prior to any survey. This all will take around 4 weeks before the engineer comes round to rewire.
My questions are:
1. Will the engineer require the digging of the cocrete to expose the cable prior to him coming on site or will he do it himself.
2. Will he insist on external mounted box.
3. Is the price reasonanle concidering the fact they want money before survey.
4. Can i still take out the wall and leave a panel of wall housing the meter, or will the engineer dislike this.
Can anyone help with this matter
