Replacing external electricity meter housing

[mancity68]

Whilst trying to get a smart meter fitted, the power company rep reported the housing as unsafe (in a cupboard outside and backboard rotting).

It seems like an utter nightmare to get this sorted: electrician to remove meters, power supply company to remove their equipment, building work to replace backboard then the two electricians to replace respective bits). It's made even more complicated due to one of the meters being supplied by a different power co so they need to do their bit.

Has anyone been through the pain of this?!

Yep, it's worse if you need a new supply, then you really get to see the ''That's not my in my remit Guv'' culture...

Hello

I am in a similar position now re replacing housing for an external electricity meter - could I ask a favour. Did you find a solution? I would be very grateful for any advice.

Many thanks
