Extending sub main cables?

[Midwest]

Not sure I would be extending sub main cables ... Replacing end to end is the answer.

What does the free holder say ?

More to the point, what does the OP have to say!

Not sure I'd be agreeing to move services in a leasehold property without the written consent of the free holder.....

Jointed and extended many submains, if this other contractor can do it as opposed to the one who thinks it is "shifty" whatever that means let them do it and them use them for the rest of the work and ditch Mr Shifty.

Surely that depends on the individual installation?

I quite agree ........... but based on whats been volunteered so far, as they run through another persons flat, I wouldn't be entertaining placing a joint in said flat!

In an ideal world you would replace the distribution circuit....But sometimes everything isn't ideal so you have to be practical about things. Extending the distribution circuit can be done, just has to be done in compliance. It's very hard to gage over a forum if what your second electrician suggests is legit but he's the one who has seen the job.

Just out of curiosity how would you joint the sub mains safely according to regulations?
