Sorry if this is an obvious question, but are you sure the bills are
based on real readings. Sometimes estimated readings can be very wrong.

No these are based on genuine readings according to er indoors.
As a point of interest, we have just received notification that our supply
company want to change the meter on the 18th of this month.
That could prove interesting!

There is, or was, a statutory requirement for them to leave a card with old
and new meter readings. Ask for the readings when they do the work.

Also, don't be surprised if the new meter reading isn't zero (or a nominal
6 units, if memory serves correctly). RECs were in the habit of re-issuing
meters without recertification that were removed from service within 5
years of being certified, IYSWIM.
