Hi all,
Newbie here with no electrical experience so please be gentle!
I am currently refurbishing my basement flat and during this we have discovered that the supply to the four flats is single phase. I have been told this is unsafe and insufficient for the four flats. U.K. Power networks initially came over and the engineer couldn't believe how it was setup, four separate metres on a single phase and was amazed that there had been no burnouts.
My questions:
Is this unsafe and does it need to be changed?
Who is responsible for upgrading and paying for the upgrade?
If it is the freeholders, is there a way to make this a legal requirement?
Is there a way to make either Uk Power or the electricity companies to do it?
Many thanks
Michael
