reconnecting the electric from a demolished building

[muckington]

What exactly are you wanting?

It may not even require any attention from DNO/energy supplier if the position doesn't change.

???

 

[muckington]

Do you mean old shipping containers used for storage?

Shipping containers with no lighting, no heating, no cooling?

yes old shipping containers used for storage
No need lights to see inside with no heating or cooling? Storage not dwelling

 

[morqthana]

so the price of the cabanet and price of supply will depend upon how much electric supply I will need?

You seem to be utterly opposed to

1) Engaging a qualified electrician to advise what supply you need

2) Asking your DNO what they will charge

The cost depends on many things - where you want the meter, and size of supply. The only way to find out, is to first specify these things, including at least a site diagram, then ask your local DNO. A short discussion with the DNO, might find a more favourable location, which suits you both, at a cheaper cost.

The wall cabinets, can be had for £50, but need to be installed in a secure dry location - you would need to arrange that first, once agreement is sorted with the DNO.

Your first port of call is a survey by and a discussion with your electrician. I have personally resited the DNO's kit without any input by them and it may possibly be the case for you too.
IF it's currently in the right place but changes are required - Contact your electrician.

I was hoping some people on hear would of given a slight indication on price by now

dose the cabenet include a meter?

People on here were hoping that you might have taken the advice given to you multiple times and contacted your DNO by now.

People on here were wondering why you don't seem to understand that nothing anybody says about price will make a blind bit of difference to what you will actually have to pay.

But if you really want a slight indication, £55,000 - £60,000.

dose the cabenet include a meter?

Do you think that people buy their own electricity meters?

Do you know anybody who has?

Have you ever?

Have you ever been a customer of an electricity supplier in the UK?

 

[Murdochcat]

The question that has been bothering me is what is the “state” of the existing supply - assuming there ever was a supply but the OP seems unwilling to provide and facts

You have asked us a question a bit like: how much will it cost to buy a car

You have told us NOTHING about the condition of the site and what, if anything, remains of the electricity supply*. You havent even said if it is a house, or an industrial unit.

Need detail on this.

Maybe a photo or two?

Scenarios:
1. Lets us suppose that before the building was demolished, the DNO was instructed to terminate the supply in the road. In that case you wil need to provide groundworks from the road to the point where you want the new supply. The DNO will then come and provide a new cable from the supply at the road to the point where you want it. This will cost thousands. How many thousands will depend on the distance, complication and - by the way - you have not even said what type of supply you want. Single phase 230volt 100amp (like a house) is at one end of the scale. Or you may be planning a large factory with a large electricity requirement. this will then mean a three phase supply and the size of this ranges from tens of Kw to thousands. The cost varies accordingly.

2. Let us suppose that the demolition company carefully removed the building and left the existing supply in place. the DNO's cable is still sticking out of the ground and there is a supply head with fuse on it, but nothing else. If you are lucky it will be at the place where you want the supply for the new building. If you are lucky it is still connected. if not, see 1 above. If still connected, will the supply be big enough for your needs? If everything is ok on those suppositions, you'll need to supply a suitable supply and meter box (as specified by the DNO) and they will put the supply in there. Then you can get a meter fitted by your chosen supply company.

3, 4, 5 There's too many variables, and lots of them. Have a look at this

* First step. Find out your DNO, using the postcode they may be able to tell you what type and size of supply is/was there and the condition of it. If they were involved in the removal of it they will have records. Or they may be able to tell you if it is still there!.

I guess you'll have similar questions about water, gas etc?

Sorry I have to disagree, If the entire supply is still there and in the right place and working - contact an electrician to reassemble it into an enclosure. I have done exactly that twice where the company fuse and meter were still on the original backboard (I was involved before the building remove on one of these), In both cases I used short pieces of duct and a swept elbow, split them to place round the DNO cable, added duct for the outgoing cable, backfill and laid a concrete base around them then bolted a glass fibre cabinet onto the base. No DNO involvement but in both cases it was for the existing customer so no changes to service required.

Hence my initial questions.

 

[Taylortwocities]

Hence my initial questions.

Yes, and also the lack of answers.

 

[SUNRAY]

Yes, and also the lack of answers.

Very much so but by the sound of it OP hasn't seen the site yet.

 

[muckington]

Do you think that people buy their own electricity meters?

Do you know anybody who has?

Have you ever?

Have you ever been a customer of an electricity supplier in the UK?

Yes! I had an electrician fit a new one once then i informed the electric company/ service provider of the reading

 

[muckington]

But if you really want a slight indication, £55,000 - £60,000.

So nothing under 5K right?
