[Jamie3032]

Hi, has anybody had any experience with repositioning the electrical meter and main fuse within a domestic property and the costs involved, thanks

I was quoted £1000 to move an incoming cable supply and meter in a bungalow when i wanted to move it outside, but it will depend on how far its moved etc etc get a quote is best m8

Ok thanks, can I asked who provided you with this quotation?

The DNO. Not sure who is the DNO in your area, in east Anglia it is UK Power Networks

Thought as much, the meter and Main Fuse are currently on the external wall within a box following the conversion of a garage to a bedroom, we are looking to relocate this to its original position on the wall adjacent, I am hoping that this can be done relatively easily without involving the DNO

Sometimes a little common sense is what is needed in these situations...

Well, you started it by refering to common sense when someone else had stated on the DNO can move/touch their equipment!!

the question I asked was if anybody had any experience in moving said equipment, nothing more, nothing less

The DNO will have experience in this. Give them a ring before your ideas of moving live service cables around actually take root.
