If no supllier cut off is available, what are the safe methods of isolation prior to changing out the CU?

1. Get supplier to install a cut off switch (could take 3 mnths) or
2. Pull 100A fuse and say security tag was already cut? Regs state work to be done on isolated circuit.

Just done one where british gas is the DNO.
Supply and fit isolator (plus remove old economy7 meter )
39 pounds
seven days notice required

price passed onto client who was happy to absorb the cost, for the job to be done right..


which DNO is quoting 3 months..?
 
depending on where you are some dno`s are now letting scheme members have seals so they can break the seal legally and reseal it afterwards. i think it is 20 seals you are allowed at a time and you tell them which properties you have sealed
 
if you were to pull the bit were not allowed to pull :rolleyes: be careful as some are brittle and can fall apart in your hands. not that i have ever pulled one but if i had i have never had it happen to me:)
 
I have just bought a new private house which is ex council so the meter is outside in White box with no cut out option but need new board, I am just goin to cut seals but dnt I also need to upgrade the tales
