    ENA (Engineering Networks Association) Recommendation document G87 is worth a read on the responsibilities of a Building network Operator (BNO)

    ENA is the Energy Networks Association (NOT Engineering!).
  • Now there is radio silence from the management company who represent the freeholder. 

    Would legal action be the next step or by then would I be paying money on legal fees that I could just pay for the repairs?
  • I have just received this, which is confusing because they're saying the wiring before my meter is my responsibility....

    Thank you for your patience whilst I was referring matters to the Freeholder and the Head of Property Surveying.

    Unfortunately, they have confirmed our position that the responsibility is not that of the Freeholder. We collect payment for Ground Rent and Insurance only, moreover there is no dedicated landlord supply therefore the problems of which you are faced is the responsibility of the leaseholder as we have no repair obligations

    I am sorry this is not the news you were anticipating, but we are unable to assist in this regard.

    We would recommend that you go back to the contractor / supply and provide them with a copy of your lease and inform of the above. 

    I have checked my lease, there is no mention of it.
