I contacted my DNO (SSEN) to see what they would charge to shift the main fuse and meter 9cm to the left to maximise the space available for the Andersen Installers.
To summarise, the DNO will move the main fuse only (as expected based on the posts above). I am therefore required to arrange for my supplier (EON) to come on the same day to move the meter.
SSEN has quoted £188.77 (including VAT) to move the main fuse.
I will contact EON to see how much they will charge to move the meter by 9cm, but this is all starting to feel like more hassle than it is worth.
Andersen have said that if they are unable to fit what they need into the meter box, then they would install an IP compliant box underneath it. Whilst I'm keen to avoid this due to the aesthetics, the hassle involved with creating the space in the meter box is starting to feel like even more of a headache.
I'll continue to update this thread as things progress in the hope it helps others who might find themselves in a similar position.
