if he is prepared to move the DNOs incoming service himself, then he is a muppet.

wasn`t there another thread the other day in here Tel.....goin on about interfearin with bullits and DNO equipment?...lol

 

[shagbite]

He wanted to move the meter as he was on about the length of the in coming cable and if there was enough slack it would be easy to move!

hahahahaha. i've changed my mind, i think you'd better keep your eye on this fella.

bullets are 1 thing. 70 year old lead sheathed cable that's been in the ground for longer than adolph hitler, is another matter.

and he`l know when he`s `found it` n all...lol..

 

[LlandrilloSpark]

If we did an anonymous poll on who has moved meters ect even an inch for a ccu, I bet more yes than no?

 

[hasel5]

Thats a yes from me wiyh the bullt removed of course lol

 

[telectrix]

well you have to move the meter as DNO fitted it bang in the middle of a 2' x2' board so you got no room for anything bigget than a 4 way CU.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

i`v done it...just enough to get a split load 5n5 on....

 

[Guest111]

YEP me an all lets put it this way i had a few metres of concentric spare after.

 

[markc123]

You all disgust me!

Me aswell though, think probably 95% would answer yes to be fair llan.

 

[LlandrilloSpark]

Somebody i know (???!!???) Shifted 3 single phase meters from 3m high to under stairs on opposite wall where cut out was anyway. SP wanted £450!, this dude charged him £210

 

[hasel5]

We all do a few wrong things now and then but always asses the risk first of course lol (and make sure no one watching)

 

[SYKRAPS]

OP why have you appointed an electrician only to ask yourself who is making sure the said electrician is carrying out his work in accordance with BS7671?

The regulations are open to interpretation by qualified electricians so IMO you should listen to the guy who you have decided to employ as his name will be on the certification not anyone elses.............

Thats assuming a certificate and Part P are part of the plan!

Where did the assumption that the spark is a muppet for attempting to move 70 year old PILS come from? Surely the objective was to move the service head to make things easier? Presumably if it were split concentric or similar it wouldn't be too difficult to unscrew the board and move it a couple of feet; not that I'd know - I've moved fewer service heads than pulled DNO fuses.

 

[telectrix]

my main concern would be the fact that he would not be insured should anything go wrong when he was moving something that he is not authorised to. looking into the future, should somebody inadvertently dig into that incoming cable and be killed or injured, DNO could disclaim responsibility as it was moved from where they had originally installed it.
