Not sure if this is useful but last year bought a house in HH paid for meter to be installed at deposit stage
months went by no meter no bill then the village wanted me to pay some bill that my cables were connected to
I refused no meter no bill end of story next PEA arrived to install meter then refused due to the wrong mains cable being installed more free electric for me then a week later a copper heavy weight cable arrived and two guys to pull it in through existing trunk or dig up paths two days it took to complete.
All looked good no damage cable changed pea arrived to connect meter job done but where the cable comes out of the outside wall to the meter they striped all the armor and insulation off leaving the last 1m into the meter with an uninsulated brown and blue wire Pea said it was fine but looking at every other house on the estate mine seems the only one with the last 1m exposed time will tell it looks like a cowboy job to me ????
