Do you need to involve Thames Idiot Water if/when moving meters
Yes

Pity.
Then again, maybe I could use all the money they owe me and have them do all the plumbing work. Oh, but they'll be bankrupt by then, having siphoned (excuse the pun) all the money to shareholders.

How does it work when there's other pipes and stuff involved? Presumably I get some plumber to redo most of the work and get it to the point when Thames Widiots send someone to move the meter and then the other guys have to come back and finish it?
What if my kitchen instead has a water leak and requires an urgent fix which causes the meter to be moved elsewhere... ?
hippy
So, we have some plans and stuff for a new kitchen. Waiting on a quote for the bits then we give that to the blokes that'll stick it in (ooh nurse).
The plumbing in ours is a mess though and I have a solution but I don't know if it's possible nor how much it will cost. We used to have an immersion heater and cold water tank in the cupboard, which has been replaced with a little electric hot water heater for the kitchen and bathroom taps.
For some reason, we have two water meters.
Can I get a plumber to remove all the pipes in the cupboard and along the wall, including the second water meter and relocate (a probably new) hot water heater thing under the kitchen sink, near the other existing water meter? Do you need to involve Thames Idiot Water if/when moving meters or can you just have it done and then let them know the meter is no longer needed because the plumbing has been consolidated?
Any idea what this lunacy might cost (ballpark, obvs)?
