Question about sub meters

[phoneydee]

I have a 3 phase supply to my 1957 architect designed grade II listed house. I have just built an annexe to the property and want to run a supply from one of the unused phases. My supplier says: 'we don't do that sort of thing' and Western Power says: ' ask your supplier.' No independent electrician will do this as I understand they are not sanctioned to work on the equipment without permission from these companies. We have tried other suppliers (Utility Warehouse/Octopuss/Scottish Power/ NPower etc) Does anyone out there know how I untangle this web of nonsense? It's been ongoing for about 10 months now.

Side note: If/when an electrician is on site, please ask him to install a blank in that consumer unit to fill the gap that's letting that main switch push right. Can't see what make it is from the thumbnail but a standard metal blank should fit...

Well spotted!

Small size of image is not helping much

It looks easy, but then you navigate through an endless process of 'press 1 if it was installed on a wet tuesday.....' and at the end of all that get rewarded with a recorded message saying that this call centre is closed due to all staff temporarily working in the emergency call centre due to a high volume of emergencies.

It's no wonder people give up and pull cutout fuses themselves!
