Moving meter

When you say outside the house, will it be from the passage to just outside the front door? If it's inline with the existing incomer all they need to do is dig out the trench to expose the cable and shorten it

I had this done years ago when moving it from inside the garage to the outside, same cable but shortened a tad.

I bunged them a tenner and they connected the tails to CU

The meter is on the wall in a corridor.that corridor follows the lounge then there is a door to a small garden.the meter will be moved on the wall outside the lounge. So it is a straight line may be 4/5 meters

Yes, but the point is: does that straight line follow the line of the incoming cable?

You probably won't know that unless you have C.A.T.4 detector or a copy of the utility service plans.

Sounds like you propose to have it sited in the back garden, bad news I would say, normally mains arrive from the front

Also they won't like any building work on top of it should you want to extend backwards or a conservatory
