[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 541640, member: 13534"] If you do some digging around, you will most likely find that the DNO publish a price guide for installation work, this might help. I DO know, that if the DNO dig trenches, there is one rate for in the road, another for in footpaths, and another for on your land. Obviously, dig the ones on your land yourself. Another point; the blue route. IF the DNO will lay the cable direct in the ground, this would be ok, BUT, they might well want a duct in case the cable ever has to be replaced, as it will be their property after installation. This means, the duct will have to be laid in a straight line, complete with drawrope, as you will not get the cable round all them bends, not a hope.. I have done TWO new supply projects. In both of them, the DNO supplied the duct for free. Ask them about this, as then you know it is the right stuff. You could install the duct at leisure and back fill it all. This would be by far the easiest.. Then when the DNO come, it will all be done in a matter of a few hours.. I do not think there is such a thing as a three phase smart meter, but might be wrong.. john.. [/QUOTE]
