I need to disconnect the electricity to my premises. What do I need to do?
Contact your Electricity Supplier and tell them you want to have your electricity disconnected. If you wish to have the meter removed your supplier can arrange for this to happen at the same time. You will need your account number or MPRN reference. If you have more than one meter, please provide the Meter Numbers (RM Numbers) which are available on the face of the meter.
I am able to do the wiring alterations myself. However, I cannot give you a wiring cert. What do I do?
You will have to get an Inspection from the Regulatory Body. Go to Safe Electric for advice in order to acquire a wiring certificate. The wiring certificate affirms that the wiring has been done to the required standard and it therefore provides assurance that your wiring installation is safe.
