No. They will remove the main fuse and connect the new sub mains supply
cable to that directly, not through the meter. If you look at the top of
the main fuse on the head end, you'll see that it has two indents for cable
entry. One is already taken by the tail for the existing meter, but the
other is free to be knocked out and another new cable connected to it.

Once they are happy that the new installation is safe and fully operational,
they will re-seal the main fuse. You can then control the new supply with
the 100 Amp isolator switch you fitted for the new sub mains supply to get
connected to.

Thank you for the help. Do you happen to know what sort of tests they
use to ascertain whether the wiring cirquit is 'safe'? If I knew that,
I could perhaps run the test mystelf before they come on site.
