My builder wanted the electrics disconnecting around the house before starting work. So I called the electrician who came round and disconnected and removed the old consumer unit and fitted a temporary one.
The problem arose yesterday when EON came round to replace the meters (they're old and due replacement), the guy took one look at the meter and said that he's not touching it and he's reporting us for fraud!! The EON guy told us that the seals on the meters had been broken in order to fit the temporary unit which was breaking the law - apparently the electrician should have known this and called EON first to get a temporary switch put in? Is the EON guy right? The last thing I need is a lawsuit for trying to protect the builder!!
