Does anyone know if my elec provider (scottish power) would be obliged to upgrade my supply cable free of charge considering my consumer unit is fed by a t+e cable which in turn is fed from next doors incoming supply cable and as we have both recently extended our properties im concerned about over loading.

can i ask what size your main fuse is? and the cable supplying?
if you can prove your maxi demand is more then what you can get they would do it free.
better off getting an electrician in to do some caculations to help prove to scottish power that you need a bigger supply cable.

My fuse is 60/80 amp and the t+e supply is hard to tell but 10mm2 or maybe 16mm2 ?

Are you sure that it is a T&E?

Yes definately

everything before the meter if its there's must be to regulation as in tails fuses ect so i assume its not there meter or been illegally moved

I think all is in order (nothing untoward during my 15yrs here).T+E to fuse then meter and then cu ,meter replaced a few years ago so assume anything dodgy would have been picked up.

the point i am thinking is its the landlords meter so nowt to do with your supplier so they wont touch it as private or they will maybe charge a fortune as its not there instalation but thats a guess as i dont know

Photos, please. Sounds as if something's very odd indeed here. What name's on the meter? Who replaced it?

Im owner of the property and pay british gas by direct debit but its scottish power ( scottish power systems) who deal with the cables etc.The meter is digital and has an "on stream" logo on it.I will post phot of set up when home tmrw.
