[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 544737, member: 250"] The cables that come out from the meter to supply the consumer unit are your responsibility and ownership... So basically you can do anything you like with all wiring distribution and accessories, connected to them. (providing it is done in accordance with BS7671 wiring regulations and building regulations. There is nothing within BS7671 or building regulations prohibiting the relocation of a consumer unit.) But, the main suppliers fuse and meter do NOT belong to you, and you are not allowed to do anything with them.. Incoming supplies can be moved... but it typically involves a lot of expense paying the DNO to alter their supply cable & service head. As mentioned, unless you are planned alterations that require that bit of wall to be knocked down, The most cost effective solution would be a nice neat and tidy cupboard around it all... Maybe with a lockable door to stop unwanted fingers poking and prodding stuff inside. [/QUOTE]
