I feel this is a no-brainer (in that I should probably get someone more qualified in to do this) but I thought I'd ask some opinions.
I've just moved into a new place and one of the rooms is just big enough for me, my desk and my computer. It's my cave and I love it.
Only problem is, the mains breaker and the electrical meter are at the door and in a position that I'm likely to damage them accidentally one day…or just through wear and tear by passing by them frequently.
Is it an easy enough job to move the breaker and the meter up a bit, or should I just get someone in? I can wire plugs, fit sockets to the wall and that sort of thing – but this might just be a step too far.
And what sort of effort would it take a professional? Should it take him long / be expensive?

I'll give the same answer I give to most electrical questions like this, call a professional.
Unless you have the knowledge and ability to handle any and all possible complications, this is a job well suited for a trained licensed professional.
EDIT:
As Mike B points out, there are also permit and other legal issues involved here.
