Spoke to the local DNO this week, as a job im quoting for needs an isolator fitted so i can run a small second CU from a henley block to supply an extension.
I may also be running a supply to the separate garage in the foreseeable future.
I only need them to either de-energise supply and i will fit the DP isolator myself.
Cheeky buggers want over 60 quid plus vat to pull the fuse. Then they will wait if its quick or return to re-energise.
I know we aren't meant to pull them and with modern cutouts its less risky, to be honest i wouldn't want to pull this one it looks old and well sealed with dirt and grime around the edge of the enclosure. far to risky and it looks like its never been pulled.
The prices they charge are as follows(taken from there website)
What do you guys think of the prices? are they pretty much standard across the country?
I was hoping that given the age of the cut out / head they might swap it out, but no such luck they are of view its perfectly fine! then i could have fitted the isolator at the same time.
