You are sure it is noncompliant, I suppose? One wall shouldn't do it, though it depends what wall of course. A wall of a dwelling would certainly do it..Such a shame this wasn't sorted when the tank was replaced.

My advice would be to try moving to Midlands lpg (about which I've seen good reports) and see what happens. They can only say no. If they accept the move they will sort it with Calor. If the answer is no go back to calor and ask them to match Midland lpg's price.

Also, Calor have a legal responsibility to make the tank - their tank - compliant, if that is possible given the layout of the property, at their expense. If Midland (or anyone) surveys the tank, and says it is noncompliant, ask them to be specific and detailed about why not, and ask them if in their opinion it can be made compliant. Listen carefully and then ask Calor for an engineer appointment to discuss their failure to make it compliant when the tank was replaced. Assuming it could have been compliant, they have been very naughty. If the tank can be resited you might have to pay for the tank footings and base. They give you dimensions, I got a local handyman to do it for £100 when mine was resited.

The other advice I always give is that shouting and ranting never gets one anywhere. A persistent and clear message that they have been negligent and would they please put matters right so your valued relationship can continue, is much more productive. But mind they match your best price :-)

Good luck and let us know how you get on ..
