[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 500478, member: 6969"] I am not sure why your energy supplier needs to be involved in the mix. FIRST thing is your spark upgrades the outgoing meter tails to your consumer unit(s) and ensures all of that is up to standard. That will involve cutting the seal on the meter (if there ever was one). Then the DNO will come and upgrade the tails from their supply head to the meter and re seal everything. They don't need to be there at the same time, in fact that would be a bad plan as the DNO is not going to wait around for your electrician so he can re seal the meter. That's how it would work here in SSE land, I know some other DNO's have other ideas. There are some ways to make it work easier. A good one here is don't mess about trying to ask for upgrades. Get your electrician to do your tails, then your electrician phones the DNO and reports a dangerous condition (note the D word) reporting substandard tails. That will usually get them out quick.
