How/when to move electric/gas meters?

We currently have a understairs but the only access to it is from the outside. This is where the meters are and currently the boiler (although that is changing very soon as a new one it being fitted to in the loft). Eventually I'd like to change the cupboard to be accessible from the inside and brick up the outside door. Will the electricity company move the meters to keep them outside or will I have to pay? There is a little more to this story as before we moved into the house it was on prepay meters and they're just about the change them for normal ones. Will they move them to an outside box now if I ask them nicely? Additional I contacted EDF and they said you're talking about £500 per supply to move them. Not something I'm willing to pay right now. If I turn the cupboard from outside to inside they'll just have to gain access when someone is in the house instead. No big deal. Thanks
