Was talking to a mate of mine who is having his electric meter moved

So what is involved in extending the incoming main by about three
metres? Three metres of tails and some sort of Henley block I'm
guessing. No complications with the routing, just drill through the
wall.

Your guess would be wrong. The LEC will not do joints inside the house (nor
normally underground in a garden if they can help it) and they do not use
Henley blocks.

Best guess is that they are taking the new supply back to the street ring
main.
