I have no reason to believe a sparky went in there, all a sparky did was

inside the house would have sufficed.

Well the sparks would need to see what sort of supply it was if he was
going
to fill in an electrical installation certificate for the shower.

What information could he possibly get from the meter box that would be
applicable to installing a shower? Everything he needs to connect to is
in the consumer unit, and labelled for him.

Let's see.

Type of supply (ie earthing arrangements),

The earth will be available in the consumer unit. He connects to that, not in the meter box.

number and type of live conductors,

You can see in the consumer unit what is available. In this case, one 100A 240V conductor.

details of protective device.

Which is in the consumer unit.
