My electricity meter is about 8 foot above floor.

I am going to have a total re-wire of the house and want to have the
meter moved down to ground level(ish).

The "owner of the meter" is UU - and they reckon that only they can
move the meter - and the ballpark estimate is 900 quid !!!


Legally - have I got to get them to do it.

It seems like they have a captive audience and can charge what they
like.
