British Gas came to fit Electric & Gas Smart Meters, however because the one for the electric would not fit inside the outdoor box they would not fit it and it would be at my cost to have a larger box fitted and the relevant connections moved.

    Yes can refuse to fit the smart meter just because the box is too small and insist you have it replaced.

    Yes they can - the box is your property not theirs
