Installation & Technical Support

Most utilities companies state that it is the property owners responsibility to maintain the meter box as it’s seen as part of the fabric of the house. Mitras only manufacture meter box products, therefore are not responsible for carrying out any of the installation work.

It is the property owners responsibility for each meter box connected to the property. Your energy supplier is only responsible for the energy supply and meter much like Mitras is only responsible for the meter box.

Technical information for our products can be found on individual product pages where you have access to technical data corresponding to the selected product.

It is the property owners responsibility for each meter box connected to the property. Your energy supplier is only responsible for the energy supply and meter. If your meter box is broken you can purchase one through our website.

Mitras do not offer an installation service, we simply manufacture and supply meter boxes for public sale. Most boxes are easy to fit without requiring any special equipment or technical capability.

Call 0800 111 999 immediately. Your gas supplier will send someone around to check your supply – they should not charge you for this safety service but please check directly with them.

No, electricity meters have to be installed above ground – moisture and electricity don’t mix.

Minimum 750mm, maximum 1050mm from ground to bottom of the box.

No, they’re made to different specifications from different materials.

No, each box can only accommodate one meter.

Yes, contact your gas supplier immediately.

No, the box must be intact in case of a gas leak at the meter as any holes in the box would allow escaping gas into the cavity of the house.

Measure the broken door or the opening if it’s missing. If it’s an electricity box door, look at the type of hinge too.

Products & Stock

The meter box you require can be identified by measuring the exterior or in some cases the interior dimensions of your box. Use a tape measure to measure the length, height & depth of the box using these measurements as a guide to locate the correct box on our website. If you are still having trouble measuring your box we would be happy to advise. Please Contact Us Here

Our meter boxes are made from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) which is not a fully fire proof material however our meter boxes are rated as fire retardant.

Hockey sticks are available for your meter box and can be purchased through our distributors. These are available in 38mm size and black or white in colour.

The size of the meter box you require will depend on the space you need to fill. You can install any meter box as long as it fits the space.

Recessed means that the box is embedded into the brickwork of the wall, surface mounted refers to the box being installed entirely on the surface of the wall.

We only manufacture boxes in white or brown but they can be painted as long as a good primer is applied first.

All GRP meter boxes advertised on the website may arrive with cosmetic imperfections including scuffs and scratches. This is due to the nature of the material used in the manufacturing process and is unfortunately unavoidable, therefore we will not be able to issue replacements or refunds scuffs/scratches or cosmetic imperfections.
