Yes. Last winter my electricity meter cupboard had the door hanging off. I contacted e-on and they sent somebody to mend it for me free of charge.
As I get my gas from e-on I thought they would do the same again but I was told they stopped doing it nine months ago & they can't/won't help me!
Barry has a point about having to disturb the meter to fix the cupboard. I never thought of that & nobody mentioned it to me on the phone.
Anyway, I suddenly realised the council run a service for senior citizens called 'Handy van' Basically they come to households and carry out jobs the householder is unable to do. They fit smoke alarms and stuff like that - anything concerned with safety.. I contacted them about my meter cupboard & the man who answered the phone said he thinks they would do it for me but they will have to come out & have a look at it first.
I'm putting the pleas for a handyman on hold until the council's Handy Van man has been to look at it.
Is it ok to leave the meter exposed to the elements? I thought it had to be covered - that's why I was in a bit of a panic to get a new cupboard fixed asap.
