My electric meter box is corroded and falling apart. Is it dangerous?

@Ugxbvn 

Possibly.
What do you mean by ‘meter box’ and is it inside or outside, there’s presumably more risk to the meter if it’s outside.

Are you talking about something like this

@Ugxbvn post a photo?

If the meter is protected from the elements and there are no sharp edges exposed on the box but it’s just unsightly then it isn’t dangerous.

I don’t work for PP the above is just my personal opinion based on a very loose question. It carries no weight in law.

Thanks for the replies. This is what it looks like.

I think the answer is obvious. 

Can I fit a new one myself or does the electric need to be turned off?
