Rotating cutout 90 degrees on to adjacent wall

[Tom Gilbert]

Hi

Take a look at my pictures

I want to knock through the wall that the current cutout/meter/consumer unit are attached to. In order to create a large under the stairs cupboard. Obviously I need to move all three units.

The cutout is basically just going to be moved to the wall that is right next to it. Essentially just rotating it 90 degrees to the left. The same with the electric meter (but not worried about that). Consumer unit will probably require some extra tails for the various circuits etc.

I realise that moving the cutout is the responsibility of the power grid, in my case Northern. Given that it is only being very very slightly moved, what are the implications? How much should I expect to pay?

Oh yeah and ignore the foam on the fuse, thats just there to prevent damage to the fridge that used to be in there.

you need to contact Northern. only they can quote you a cost.

Well yes, and I have already contacted them requesting a visit. So we'll see. I just wanted to get any input on my issue from this forum.

could be anything from around £160 upwards.
