Walrus

They're bolted together so moving them would just mean undoing the bolts (main reason being so that they can't be prised apart for access). It would be a few hours of faffing, but they could be moved seperately. I did it this way with the thought in mind that if I can ever put them on my own land I could still move them.

Could I put a 'kiosk' next to the pole, on the concrete pad and have the connections run into that? This is what it looks like inside the existing box on the pole:

I didn't know a landlord-meter was a thing! She would be quite happy with this, as would I - the point is I want a connection I can run a welder from that won't interfere with the existing connections. 16A would be enough, so 40A overall would be plenty. Can you suggest where I look into this further?

Don't know if cross-posting to other forums is allowed(!), but I have documented my build here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/shipping-container-workshop-aka-the-bunker.480285/#post-9067112

I've built myself a workshop using a shipping container. A 40' high-cube on a concrete pad, cut in half, ends welding up, sitting side by side. I cut out the wall between to make a bigger space, lined & insulated it, added some vents, installed basic lights & power, and internet (as it's a big faraday cage inside with the doors closed). The whole thing is classed as a 'temporary' structure (mine is the green unit on the left). The reason I'm here is to get electrical advice; I'm currently running lights, tools etc from the unit next door on a single extension lead! I want to get my own standalone power connection as I want to run a welder (for car repairs) - this is for hobby (domestic) use, not as a business - and as cheaply as possible while staying on the right side of the regulations/law. There is a power pole next to the unit that the existing units run from and site owner is happy for me to get my own standalone connection & meter. I have no idea how I arrange/organise this. I got a quote from an electrician for £3k to supply and fit a connection, fuse board, 2 sockets, 2 lights (no meter) from the existing power pole - this seems a bit steep! I was wondering if I can get a connection to a 'kiosk' behind my unit with a 16A plug for a welder and a couple of sockets to run lights & tools from? Can I use the existing connection from the power pole or do I need a new one? How do I go about getting a meter installed?
