Meter housings
13.—(1) Where a meter is housed in a meter box or meter compound attached to or built into the external face of the outside wall of any premises, the meter box or meter compound shall be so constructed and installed that any gas escaping within the box or compound cannot enter the premises or any cavity in the wall but must disperse to the external air.

Posted By: CWattersRemember that it's usual to put the Consumer Unit close to the meter cabinet. So if you allow them to put the meter cabinet on your front wall you may end up with the CU in your hall. You can put them further apart but it might pay to think about all this when designing the house layout.
Posted By: djhI had thought that extra kit in the meter cabinet was not allowed, whether by the DNO or the electricity/meter supplier I'm not sure, but maybe I'm wrong or perhaps it's only certain areas that operate the rule. My fuse and switch is on the other side of the wall that the meter is mounted on.
Posted By: ComeOnPilgrimThe latest update is that our gas meter box is being provided by the infrastructure company, fulcrum. They say that due to the gas pressure, I cannot have a recessed box, I can only have a 40cm do surface mounted box! Anybody any idea what they might be referring to?
Posted By: CWattersModern electric meters are pretty small so there should be room for a switch and fuse in one cabinet. There was on ours and some left over.
