I have a bit of hurdle; I couldn’t find the fuse rating on the main fuse box. Should I ring the DNO for this info? You see, I really don’t want to break the seal (law) to look inside. Thanks.

Simple answer, no. The EAWR's do not permit you to work live, so as long as you don't cause criminal damage to the seals (which funnily enough never seem to be there???), then no, it's not wrong to pull the fuse.
 
In my experience,a lot of cut outs don't have seals on them,but you have to be completely sure that it is safe for YOU to pull the bullet,i.e check the condition,how old is it? Better safe than sorry,and NEVER cut the seals on the meter.
