Hey all, as you can see from the photo above, I founded out that the outside meter box is not properly sealed and it seems to be the reason of a very cold entryway.

Should it be fully replaced by a electric Eng or is it a DIY job where I could spray a B2 expanding foam all around (not inside!)?

Thanks in advance folks

    No point in replacing it as you would end up with same situation.   Not a DIY job really.

    Spray foam if you want to -  they are not usually sealed.


    PS IS there any cavity wall insulation - far more benficial

    Thanks for confirming my assumptions, Robin.

    Cavity wall insulation will be done next Tuesday if everything goes as planned 🤞
