Product Spotlight - GRP Meter Boxes

Meter boxes might not be the first thing you notice about a home or workplace, but they play an essential role in protecting electrical installations and ensuring everything is compliant with UK regulations. Our range of GRP meter boxes are designed for both residential and light commercial environments, offering a strong, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance solution.

 

Why Use GRP Meter Boxes?

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) meter boxes have clear advantages over traditional alternatives. Made from high-quality GRP, they are built to last and need minimal maintenance. Unlike metal, they won't rust, and unlike other plastics, they remain UV stable and weather-resistant even after years of outdoor use. 

Our meter boxes are fully compliant with the BS 8567:2012 specification and are widely used by utility companies and house builders across the UK (excluding the Manweb area). Whether you need a single-phase domestic supply or a larger 3-phase installation, our meter boxes provide a robust, low-maintenance home for modern energy demands.

 

 

Standard Domestic GRP Meter Boxes

Our standard range is designed for all single-phase UK electricity meter installations, making them perfect for both new builds and replacement projects. Each unit comes with a pre-fitted baseboard to simplify installation and reduce on-site fitting time. Both recessed and surface-mounted options are available, providing flexibility for different wall types and installation preferences. 

Available in standard white, or brown on request, the lockable design keeps the meter box secure. The durable GRP construction provides long-term protection from weather and corrosion with minimal maintenance.

 

 

3-Phase GRP Meter Boxes

For projects requiring a 3-phase electricity supply, we offer specialist GRP enclosures. Manufactured to ESI standard 12-3 and compliant with the BS 8567:2012 specification for outdoor meter cupboards, these 3-phase meter boxes are designed to meet the needs of larger residential properties, and developments with higher power needs. 

Each unit provides the additional space needed to house 3-phase equipment, while offering the same benefits as our domestic range: weather resistance, corrosion protection, UV stability, and low maintenance. Available in white as standard, or brown on request, with a secure, lockable design and the choice of recessed or surface-mounted options, they give installers flexibility without compromising on security or durability. 

3-phase GRP meter housings are increasingly popular in homes with higher power demands. They provide an ideal solution for properties with fast-charging EV points, heat pumps, or solar panel systems. 

 

Applications for GRP Meter Boxes

Our GRP meter boxes are widely used across the residential sector. They are a popular choice for new housing developments, ensuring consistency and compliance across multiple units. In refurbishment projects, they offer a simple way to replace outdated or damaged enclosures, bringing properties up to modern safety and performance standards. 

Used nationwide by major utility companies, our GRP meter boxes are a trusted choice for contractors, developers, and homeowners looking for reliable, low-maintenance meter protection.
