Meter Resite - Supply back into House

[claret73]

Hi Lads
Am hoping I can be given some advice on this?

A potential job that I viewed for a relative requires the Meter moved from the internal wall at the front of the house to external wall. They are contacting EON to enquire for costs & allowance of doing this. If agreed & price is OK they want a new CU moving again from Internal wall to opposite side of partition wall in Hallway.

I found a lot of posts on here afterwards for best way to bring supply tails into house and think I have it cracked, but would like to run this by you as Domestic work I've done as a Mate hasn't covered this on Board Changeovers.

Current Supply is TN-S.
I would ask EON to fit a DP Isolator for tails.

1/ Out of DP Isolator to Metalclad 80A Switched Fuse (as I think it will stretch just over 3M)
2/ From Switch fuse, Glanded 25mm 2 Core SWA out of cupboard along wall, up wall & into hallway
3/ Gland this in a 17th Metalclad CU
4/ Run from MET along SWA, 16mm Earth to CU Main Earth Bar

If I flylead the Gland at Switchfuse earth bar, how can I flylead at CU, given Earth & 2x Bonds fill those terminals?

My only concern for Aesthetics is having a 25mm SWA Clipped to Front of house, along with a 16mm earth. I could use 3 core, but 2 core would reduce the size & be slightly easier to work with? (I've not done much SWA, so it's going to be a Baptism as it is).

Does this seem like overkill? As I said I've read posts on here that are pointing exactly to this method for bringing in Supply to CU from an external Meter.

Other question would be, if EON do carry out this, would they reinstate supply to existing CU once finished?

This would be through Building Control as I'm not a scheme affiliated member due to having only recently completed Level 3 & 17th & not yet decided to go Part P Self employed.
Cheers for any advice.

P.S. Birmingham Building Control have quoted £75 to notify & then have an Engineer come out to Test & Certify. (I am testing it anyhow on BS7671 Forms for my own part) I thought this was a good price.

Your MET should be at the incoming supply position not in the cu so all main protective bonding conductors should be connected at that point.

Thanks Sintra
This I had considered as the Gas Meter is already sited at the front of the house & will be just to the left of the potentially sited Electric Meter.

I'm trying to make it look a decent job as these cables will be on the front of the house. Is it practice to run the 10mm bonds along with the 16mm tie wrapped to SWA & back into the house? Or should I be looking at running in PVC Conduit? The Current Gas meter is at floor level & so cable runs will be at a low height.

Thoughts are for protection of earth cables & the look of the containment & SWA on the front of the house. As it's the front wall of the house, I'd be assuming this is a Cavity wall, hence the thoughts of running external to internal...
