You're welcome. I'm up on this subject at the moment because my neighbour just had to have the pavement and their own path dug up to replace that main service cable because their existing one had failed dramatically at a join builders had illegally made over 20 years ago in order to move their main fuse.
It's not a small undertaking.
My approach would be a larger slim cupboard that could house things like pair of steps. Small fiddly boxing costs more in time to make and rarely looks better. Maybe design it in sketchup to see how it would look.

While we're on the subject, can I pick your brains a bit?
Currently plan is to move the main fuse slightly closer to the door/ wall and integrate its box, visually, to the door frame. Then reposition the meter higher up next to the CU) and make the boxing for those two much smaller (it's currently right at/below head height which is not great).
Do either the main fuse or meter have to be set off the wall at all, or can they be screwed directly to it?
I'm not doing any of this of course, but I think I know an electrician who will.

Thanks very much for explaining. I guess I'll have to live with it (or box it in a bit)
Anyone seen any neat solutions to hiding away this hideous problem?
