Moving the meter.

[La Poste]

Greetings.

A landlord has asked me to do an inspection of his property which I have done.

I noticed no bonding so I installed bonding and went round making sure each circuit had an earth and complied with
disconnection times.

I also noticed the main fuse and meter had no seals so I sealed both with security seals which I always keep handy.

Now the landlord wants me to move the meter up further so it sits higher on the wall and to do this I will have to extend
the cables/meter tails from the main fuse to the meter.

I have been advised this is a big no no and to call the electricity supplier, EDF in this instance.
I am little worried that I will get the blame for breaking the original seals and wondered what people thought was the
best thing to say to the engineer when they arrived.

Comments appreciated.

I would say the landlord wants it about eye height for a person that is six feet tall.

Or eye height for a bloke that's five foot standing on a milk crate but his flat cap might touch the ceiling.

It always annoys me when my 6'7" colleague puts things at 'eye height' then I have to stand on a box to reach it.

(For a while I wondered why his cat flap would touch the ceiling, then I realised I was mis-reading it!)

toilets and cutouts in close proximity to each other, another thread perhaps??

"Hello, EDF? Yes, I have a problem. My meter smells of wee. Can someone come out and sort it please?"

Look on suppliers website they might have prices on there. I know mine has and it gave me a rough idea in a similar situation
