Who would be responsible for moving a mains electricity unit and how much would this cost?

If you are only concerned on the safety of the unit it should be a fairly straightforward job for an electrician to secure the board or replace it,consumer units/meters are generally enclosd in kitchen cupboards and is quite legal/safe.this should cost arround £200.if you want the meter/incoming supply moving this has to be carried out by your supplier and can cost from £1500+ as they have to work "live",regards Terry.

Hi there. To keep it simple, anything before the meter is the service providers property. This also includes the meter. Anything after the meter is your property. In some case there may be an isolation switch after the meter belonging to the service provider. In most situations, it gets left where it is due to the cost of having it moved by the service provider. You may also have to wait. No harm in getting a quote though. Simply call the number on your bill. If the board is not fixed then tell them. Its normally spaced of the wall slightly to save the mains cable from bending. Any movement could cause a loose connection / arcing which could be extremely dangerous. They should fix this immediately. All the best. Gary Secelec Uk
