Gas, electricity, and water meter relocations managed under one project. Network operator notifications, compliant positioning, and minimal supply interruption.
Every meter relocation follows a clear, auditable sequence. Here is exactly what happens at each stage.
Meters need to be relocated for a variety of reasons. A building extension or loft conversion may bring an existing external meter inside, requiring it to be moved back to a compliant external position. A refurbishment may change the layout in a way that makes the current meter position impractical or non-compliant. Planning conditions or building regulation requirements may specify a different meter position. An existing meter may already be in a non-compliant position that a survey or inspection has flagged. Commercial reconfiguration may require meter rooms to be moved to support a change in building use.
Gas meter relocations involve isolating the supply, installing new pipework from the existing service pipe to the new meter position, reconnecting, and pressure testing. The works must be notified to Cadent under their notification framework and carried out by a GIRS accredited operative. Where a meter is being converted from an internal to an external position, a compliant meter housing must be installed to the current Cadent specification. USP manages the Cadent notification and provides all required documentation on completion.
Electricity meters are owned by the meter asset manager (MAM), not the property owner, so the MAM must be coordinated for meter removal and reinstatement at the new position. DNO isolation is required before the tails can be extended and the meter position equipment installed. Three-phase supplies require NGED site attendance for the cut-in. USP manages the MAM and DNO as a single coordinated process, ensuring the new position is installed to current DNO specification before the meter is replaced.
Water meters are owned by the water company, so relocation requires authorisation from the water company under the self-lay framework. The new position must meet the water company's current specification for depth, access, and protection. USP manages the authorisation process, installs the new pipework and boundary box to specification, and coordinates the water company's inspection and sign-off. For commercial properties with multiple meters, USP coordinates the full meter array relocation under one programme.
Every meter we relocate is installed to current network operator specification and inspected before handover. These are real USP projects, not stock photos.

I contacted USP and within minutes had a chat with Justin who described exactly how the job would be done and provided a comprehensive quote including labour and materials and was able to start the work in just 7 days. Justin and his team were brilliant and did an amazing job. I can highly recommend USP.
Jack and Joel were absolutely amazing this morning and really put themselves out to dig a hole without having to dig another hole in my drive. More work for them but one happy customer.
From the initial quote through to work completion, Justin and his work partner were a mix of professional, knowledgeable, good-humoured, and clear in all explained (I felt an instant ease to agree to the work). The work itself was excellent and they left the place immaculate!
George and Jack come out today to move a gas meter. It wasn't a straightforward job, but they both took time to talk me through what they were doing and what the next steps are. Very friendly and polite and thought about the needs of our family.
Jack and George are great.
Bang on time, completed the work perfectly, no issues. Left the meter really neatly finished. Jack and Joel were very courteous and did a great job.
George and Jack turned up and did a first class job, very friendly and professional. Great job lads.
Jack and Joel were brilliant. Very polite, worked to my highest expectations. Left the area as clean and tidy, as was possible. And explained every step of the process to me, answering any questions I had.
Fantastic work from Jack and Johl.
