    Moving Connection point and meter

    Hi Guy, I’ve contacted my DNO Scottish power and they’ve quoted me a price of £760 to move my connection point and meter. I seem to be doing most of the work with them pretty much terminating it. I’ve been looking for someone else to do the work as I’ve believe it’s ‘contestable’ but I’m...

    "Safety Electrical Connection" metal labels

    Does anyone know a source of just the metal labels that are attached at earth clamps? Every time I need to replace a missing label, I'm taking a label from a new clamp, and throwing the clamp away, which seems a bit wasteful. I'd love to buy a bag/box of 50 or 100 of the metal labels.
