the replacement of the whole casing. This would necessitate some work
on the supply side of the meter to replace it.

If the electricity is the same as the gas meter boxes then once installed the box becomes the property of the house owner - bit of a bugger especially the cavity boxes.
The electricity board will probably repair/replace the box but will charge you, especially if any work is required on their apparatus.
Check with them beforehand. (good luck with the call centres- best bet is to ask one of their lads in the vans)
Hope this helps
