A friend of mine opened up the door to their external electericity meter box on a newly purchased house and found that the lead seal for the main fuse had been broken and was lying on the bottom of the box.
Is this going to be a problem, say, with the electricity supplier? The seal for the meter is OK.
Thanks
AFAIK this isn't a problem. Call them up if worried & say the house has just been bought.
My meter is missing a seal where the two tails come into/out of the meter. There's just a bit of wire there. I think whoever called around some years ago to replace the supply cable just forgot to seal it up. I am a bit worried about it. I have just left it as it is.
Don't worry about it. It's only the meter seal that matters.
Christian.
Beg to differ on this - if the seal is missing off the main fuse, the previous occupant might have been "sitco" - straight in to cut out.
This is a very common fiddle and the revenue protection people might take an unhealthy interest.
Call the elec. co. and report it just to cover your own a*se.
