If your meter box needs replacing, and you live in rental property, you’re best off contacting your Landlord or Letting Agency to request a replacement. If you’re a homeowner, you can purchase meter boxes from many different retailers like Travis Perkins and B&Q.

Hi @GTeall , the meter box is most usually the responsibility of the building owner 

There are quite a few suppliers and fitting will depend on the exact type required

        Hey @GTeall 

         

        Are you able to send a photo of the broken meter box as @Jeffus suggested?
