Good question , no answer. So you could fit a nice door then , just need a triangular lock for the meter reader.

the joys of meters as evans says it will be yours as long as you maintain accsess to it you can do what you want with it, but anything that involes moveing the meter ect will require involement of the meter operator not the DNO but will then be contracted back to the DNO to move to cut out, but all this is done threw the supplier :_|

in the CN patch its mostly all operated by e.on we am all out of the same depots but trying to organise something is just a joek to be honnest, around here to move the equipment it would be:

1. Call to supplier

2. They send meter operater to move meter ( metering services/e.on energy)

3. They call for e.on energy services to move equiptment apart from meter. (all this work is charged for so central networks are not involved)

4.But if any problems or faults central networks have to be called out to it.

So at times you can have 3 parts of e.on out at one job, all from the same DC but all totaly seprate parts of the company :_|

Questions (anybody who knows),

1. Can you get meter/fuse reseal kits?

2. If the meter cupboard door hinges break, as they often do, whose responsible for the cost of replacement, property owner or electricity supplier?

Questions for Sparkss the jointer,

1. How dodgy is the live jointing, I know working live is potentialy fatal but in reality are there any accidents/incidents?

2. Finally and probably most importantly... do you work in a pair of marrigolds :^O :^O :coat

Seriously though, respect for mawling with big nasty live cables!!

If it belongs to the homeowner I suppose it depends who breaks it. If you broke it suppose you'd have to fix it! It it wears out then homeowner.

How dodgy is it? well to be honnest not very, everything we do is strictly controled and if we ourselfs dont like teh look of sumthing we have the cable made dead. Even before we get down a hole we have a peice of paper in the joint kit telling us what tools are needed what ppe and step by step what to do with the cable/joint. if something was to go wrong then yh we would be in trouble but its all so controled that if something ever does happen its useuly down to some serous human error. low voltage joints and areas where only LV is presant is pretty safe but you can get caught in a flash over if you happen to short a cable out. Subs are the biggest danger i would say as they can be very unpredictable when under fault, and a HV flashover anit very nice to be caught up in. admitingly we do wear double nomex to help in the event of an arc but its still not to nice.

E.ons moto and most pushed rule is: Rule one: We dont't hurt people.

that says a lot about what we do safety is always first no matter what.

and do i work in a pair of marigolds?

i certainly do, bit more than your normal washing up gloves though

Cheers for the info.

bit more than your normal washing up gloves though
