  • Electricity Supply Relocation

    We are going to have our existing garage demolished to make way for a 2 story extension, however the incomming gas and electricity supplies and meters are in the garage and need to be relocated. I've need to apply to have the supply relocated, and the people I've had round so far seem a little lost as to where. The current supply and meter are located on the left hand wall of the garage that will be demolished, right next to where the 'k' of kitchen is on the plans in the link below. Once the supply has been moved we can then get the house rewired, the garage demolished, and the build started. Any ideas where the new supply could go? Or clever ways of making life easy? Many thanks
