My Meter Box is Broken! Who is Responsible for its Repair?
Ritherdon started designing door and frame units nearly 40 years ago. At that time the answer to this question was clear. The electricity and gas boards owned the meter box and were responsible for them. Then came deregulation, and these organisations were no longer necessarily the billing company, so they no longer had this responsibility so it appears that the consumer (usually the property owner) is responsible for its maintenance.

How To Measure My Damaged Meter Box?
How To Measure My Damaged Meter Box?
Measure the external height, width and depth of your damaged meter box. It is important that you measure carefully, without adding any extra to the height, width and depth of the existing meter box. Please note the depth is only what is protruding from the wall.
Note whether you are repairing an electric meter box or a gas meter box and then have a browse through all of our units to find one that is the closest fit.
