I am wanting to build a new garage and rear extension next year.
I was thinking it would be much tidier to have the consumer unit housed in the garage, than under the stairs. Currently our electric meter is on the side wall closed to the road (about 6m's down the drive).
My garage would be about another 10m's down the drive towards the back of the house. I am planning on renewing the old lead water feed into the house as well and will be doing a new drive, so digging up the drive is not an issue.
So baring all this in mind, any idea how much it costs to resite the electrical service coming into the home ? Is it very complicated ? I can do all the prep digging. The water is pretty easy and i think the cost is about £400. I just leave the street connection upto the contractor for the water company.
