Currently working on a job where since I started the Cellar has become flooded. about 4" of water across most of the floor. The Cutout and meter are located down there and the consumer unit was before. The reason for a rewire was a fire which resulted in damage to most of the cables on the 1st floor. As a result of the water and the fact that it isn't going to get sorted I have moved the consumer unit out of the cellar so it is directly above where it was in the cellar but now on the 1st floor. My only problem now is that I have a cut out and meter still down there, the board that these are attached to has deteriorated due to damp. Am I to dig my heels in and say sorry the cut out and meter need moving upstairs or do I place a warning notice on the meter, inform the client I am working for and the Policy Holder that the cut out needs to be moved, also note this on my test sheet, will this be enough to cover me? Just wanted some thoughts, only worry about moving the service is that it could take weeks and it will delay payment. hope someone can shed some thoughts.
