It is illegal to remove the tamper tags on an electricity meter. Each tag is stamped with the number of the engineer who fitted it. If the engineer loses their tagging machine, they have to report it to the police.
Sometimes electricians remove the tags to isolate the current so they can work safely on the fusebox. They should not do this, but instead the meter installers should be called and asked to fit an isolating switch.
