[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 446900, member: 6969"] Gas meter boxes are like what you want. Wonder what the DNO would think of that? This is just like a new build, and it's normal to get the DNO to move the supply into a temporary outside box on a post. Because it's temporary they don't care what it is and I have seen old kitchen cupboards used with a bit of roofing felt tacked on top. Build the extension, install a duct of the correct colour for your DNO and leave a drawstring in it. Then when you are ready get the DNO to relocate it again to it's permanent location. On my new build I have avoided that. My meter box is built into a section of fence on my boundary, and that's where it's staying for good. KMF feeds a SWA to the house. That meant I only had to pay once for the supply and no need to pay for it to be moved later. Plus no ugly meter box on my wall spoiling the appearance and compromising the insulation. [/QUOTE]
