    I am not a fan of which plastic boxes!

    Have replaced white plastic electricity meter box with a nicer black steel one, any one got any idea what i could do with these?

    does anyone fabricate bespoke items like this?

    Even tho they may be on your property these boxes still belong to the utility company and you should not interfere with them

    The two smaller white ones are electricity meters, the larger one is a gas meter

    No they don't belong to the utility company. You provide the box and the utility company installs the connection.

    Just paint them with any spray paint from halfords.

    This is a ten minute job.
