Who is my network operator in this area?

[Mike2007]

I want to contact my supply operator in this area but don't know who or where to contact. Used to be Norweb I believe, but it might be United Utilities but they don't seem to have a proper number with person at the end of the line!
Cumbria.
Just want an isolator fitted after the meter.

Thought it was but they only seem to have a number for an electrical emergency, not maintainance issues?

And how much do they usually burn you for this type of job (isolator)?

An alternative answer to the question is that you aren't required to know.

Contact your supplier (the company that sends you the bill) and they are responsible for liaising with the various other companies that maintain the meters, own the network etc.

A tip:
If you don't get a helpful response from the Hell desk in Elbonia, send a short letter to the supplier. Letters can't be fobbed off as easily as phone calls, and usually, will be passed along from the people who can't deal with it, until it reaches someone who can.

I haven't a clue. All you can do is phone and ask unless JJ/Securespark have any idea.

Maybe this is why some sparks sort out the job themselves rather than wait forever for a response?
