Was talking to a mate of mine who is having his electric meter moved
from one room to the next and they've quoted over a grand for the job
- this is British Gas apparently who also do electrics.

One question nobody seems to have asked.
Do you have to use your current retail supplier of electricity to do this,
or can a qualified 3rd party (or other electricity supplier) do the work?

It's the 'local' distribution network operator who does the work, who
will almost certainly not be your supplier the way the industry has
fragmented. I can't recall OFGEM opening up this area of work to
anyone else.
