House was built in the 1930sIs this a new build?
It’s me and a neighbour, semi detatchedIs there any other property nearby that could have had its own electricity service added at a laster late (90s possibly) such as:
Masonette with separate flat upstairs
Granny annex with separate elec board supply
Part of garden sold off to build another property
You've got the original incomming mains cable coming striaght up into the bottom of the cutout which is likely the original 1930s cable (cutout has been changed though) but hanging in front of that is a more modern black cable which appears to go into the cutout which seems to have been added after. Its also unsual in that its SWA which is unusual for the supply industrial, almost like its been laid in by someone else and then the DNO has actually connected it, rather than kick up a fuss about it not being to their spec
Yes, I said that 5 posts aboveI think the next thing you could do with doing is trying to get a picture of the neighbours incomming supply.
Think there is a full stop missing? But yes, you must ask the DNO before installing an EV charging point, so I am told, however I have never asked the DNO before plugging in my e-bikes, and I would not think anyone would expect me to, so would think there is something missing, like how big the charging point is? Would I really need to ask the DNO to charge a Citroën AMI? Or a granny charger, maybe I am wrong?

That's what I thought would be the case, it makes sense, so the likes of the Citroën AMI can be charged without a problem, not that I would want a quad limited to 28 MPH, they are not classed as a car.Granny leads and similar plug in charger devices are not included, as all of those should be limited to 10A maximum, and are no different to any other plug in appliance limited to 13A.

Much more likely that it’s split concentric cable rather than SWA.other that looks like SWA
I also live in a 1930s semi and we have a split concentric cable which disappears under the floorboards and goes towards the party wall. I know it’s split concentric as I’ve seen inside my cutout when the meter has been changed and there are three sets of conductors, with no armour.It’s me and a neighbour, semi detatched
