    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    In fact I don't know why an isolator switch between the meter and the CU is not standard practice.
    Because they cost money and mean the initial installation would take longer.

    Yes, but in my case there's plenty of back board to move to, especially once the time switch is removed.

    I'm sure they don't cost much more than a tenner though, and it makes life so much easier in the long run, and is a much safer way to cut off before the CU, rather than ripping out a fuse in the meter which seems to be the conventional way.
