Old service head, refer to DNO or not?

timhoward · Jun 3, 2023

I've got a job in a tucked away property that has an old Lucy Oxford service head. It's been a while since I've come across one. Am I remembering right that the DNO's are generally interested at looking at and changing these?
Thanks.

I think I'll give DNO a call when next there and have a chat about it.
