gas supply pipe

st

whi is responsible for the gas supply pipe from the main up my drive to the meter?
national grid say the homeowner -consumer direct say the gas transporter-in this mess of privatised utilties where no one knows anything what is correct?
any help appreciated.
thanks

Its the transporter. Their responsibility is everything up to the meter. Yours is everything after. If it is a private transporter they may charge to maintain or repair, transco should do it for free (or national grid). Same for water and elec.

Why do you need to know?

thanks -we uncovered water supply pipe and gas pipe yesterday -call transco to confirm is gas pipe -yes suggest should think a new one as old metal -40-50 years ? and I must contact my supplier =Atlantic-call them say is National Grid-call them on 0870 ! say 10 weeks and my cost -! but are other pipe installers he told me call consumer focus -they say maybe and gave me numbers -call a few and alll say is Nat Grid as they can not do other transporters-and is my cost -!! also normal for 10 week wait -ask what if a gas pipe breaks-they say reapir and then wait 8-10 weeks !
confused ? now we re lay the old pipe nice and carefully -as no access we need our drive back and tarmac timed for next week .
bring back the good gas board and water board -thathcer was wrong to privatise utilities .
