Hi. This is my first post so if any admin see this, I'm sorry if I'm breaking any rules!
Anyway let's get down to it.
I've recently found myself a nice 1st floor unit to set up a small office in a neglected building (that's taken about 2 weeks to clean up, looked like an indoor skip to begin with). There will be about 15 workstations, a few fluros for lighting, and some heating as I'm thinking it's going to get cold when the winter comes back around. Maybe a small breakout area too, coffee machine / microwave, that kind of thing.
It's powered through some old grid that the landlord seems to think he can charge extortionate rates. But good news is westernpower have brought in a new supply over the other side of the estate - 100 amp fuses? (about 100m away).
So, questions.
Can I get a electric company (eon / npower / whatever) to set up an individual meter for me? Any idea what it would cost?
How much should I expect to pay for cabling (which will probably run along the outside of the building) and installation of the lighting and about 15 wall sockets?
I want a new breaker and repositioned so it's not so annoyingly behind the door. If you've got any idea about cost, please factor that in.
Want all this done within 2 weeks, am I being realistic?
Any input from the professionals here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
