NIE electricity box replacement?

Posts: 345 Forumite
Bit of a long shot but does anyone know where to get a replacement electricity meter box (specifically box door)?
I have contacted NIE and they can not help. I understand it is my responsibility to maintain. B&Q/homebase do not sell them. The company Hampton mouldings, Tetbury no longer seem to manufacture these (brown door 78 x 25cm).
Anyone??

I had a similar problem when I moved house, the hinge on my box was broken and I too contacted NIE to get a replacement, even offered to pay for it
They said to contact the builders, unfortunately the house was over 10 years old and the builders long gone
B&Q and home base couldn't help so I had to do a heath robinson hinge repair and apply some heated moulding plastic myself. Damn fine job I made of it too :rotfl:
I can only suggest trying builder suppliers like Lowdens etc… thay have been very helpful in the past even when they didn't stock an item they ordered it i for me or told me where else I could get it.
Good Luck.I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:0 -
