Thanks for the info, the only thing not answered is about running the cable thru the ceiling void or if trunking is needed across the ceiling ?

Hi all, finally decided to get electric connected to our house, been using a lister generator. Power company is charging a stupid amount to run electric to the house, but not doing the meter & box, or installation into the house. I'll get an electrician to do the work but any advice before would be appreciated, the main questions I've got are ; What are the regulations about a trench for the cable from the road to the meter box ? What meter/ box is best, surface mount or fit into wall, any recommended ? Can we run the cable thru the ceiling void and then bring down to the wall to the consumer box or do we need ugly trunking running across the ceiling ? Thanks for any advice

Thanks for the responses, yep the legio blocks are HUGE, weight about half a ton. Does anyone know why the interlocking blocks aren't available here ?, they make DIY building projects almost fool proof.

Hi all, i'm new to the site & would appreciate some help I used interlocking concrete blocks (about the size of large breeze blocks) to self build a garage abroad years ago, I cant find any here, does anyone know of a supplier or producer in the UK ?
