Default Moving electricity meter

Ben Mack wrote:
Hi All

A friend of mine (honest!) needed to move his electricity meter

He spoke to the supplier, who said that he can get any registered
electrician to move it.

A registered electrician has done so, but of course broken all the seals

I understood that only the supplier can move it - is that still the
case?

What rings alarm bells is that my friend said the supplier said it
should be a CORGI registered electrician - I thought CORGI was Council
for Registered *Gas* Installers

Cheers

Anyone can move the meter, but you need to get the leccy company to
inspect and re-aeal. There responsibility extends to the meter only,
after that its the BCO and electrical regs to specify length of tails
and switchgear and wiring that follows.

Usually a phone call to them and 'Ive moved the meter, can you reseal
it' gets a man in a van pretty quickly...
