-Incoming DNO supply (3 phase) comes into a cabinet which is fed out to two distribution boards in separate (unmanned) buildings

The question of DNO charges for relocating supply points of entry, service heads & meters is, I realise, a hot topic and the cause of great frustration and anger.

Hi.
Does anyone know if you are able to install a double socket to the side of a kitchen island.
