The consumer unit can be relocated and replaced while you are at it. The cut out can also be moved but your service provider would have to undertake this at a cost.
first you need to get your local distribution network organization
in to move it .
in to move it .
you need to speak to them .
I know for you guys this is straightforward...call the service provider, see what the say and after decide. But this will take time and it will hold the work in the living room and kitchen.
We are a young couple buying our first house which is in need of a complete refurbishment and renting out a flat while we carry out the work (The house is not in move in condition) We have very little diy knowledge and we are trying to get as much information as we can before we get the keys.
At this point we are trying to estimate the cost of the work that we want to carry out to discard ideas and prioritise work.
If you could help it could be great.

look at the post 20 first, and the cost from their .
I registered here to ask for help and you are not helping at all. Please save your time if you are going to have this type of replies.
You need to get an electrician in because it is difficult to judge from a distance what would be involved, for example cable rerouting.
dani, we can not estimate the work for you e.g. what your local dno charge you for move the steel wire armour service cable.
you need a local spark in to up grade your consumer unit
and moving all cables to the consumer unit when moved.

thank you your your replies. I understand what you mean.
Plan B would be leave the cut out where it is, create a fake wall with a little door and turn the meter and CU 180 degrees.
Would it be easier and cheaper to do? What's your personal opinion?

FFS op.... No spark will move a meter. The incoming main supply AND meter are outside our remit.
Call you supplier and get them to quote you...... It will cost lots and take weeks.....

thank god you Murdoch ,I'm now biting my nails now!
My idea is to create a little kind of wardrobe with the opening facing the opposite way.
I would ask an electrician to turn around the CU and the service provider to install a new smart meter at the same time. Could this be done?

Aproximate -translation (please correct me if I'm wrong)
The bit with the grey flap -hanging down =CU
(do-able but plenty of wiring will be hiding in wall ! =-a house re-wire )
Black box and meter , belong to DNO . Expensive ! as NOT Yours ,
(=electicity supplier)
Proposed door swing looks a problem !
