Moving gas meter - how to go about it?
Hi,
Can someone please advise how you would go about getting a gas meter moved to outside the house.
My meter is in a really awkward place and takes up wall space in a small dining room and would help a lot if it could be moved outside but I don't know who to get in touch with to start the ball rolling. Plus would it be very expensive?
Thanks

Gives you some information, I believe you would be looking at around £900.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
What area of the country do you live in? In some network areas its as low as £500! BARGAIN!0

You have got to be joking! I thought it would only be around £100 - £200. It only needs to be moved to the other side of the wall.
Looks like it will have to stay put then. Thanks for your help.0 -
Sorry the bad news is they atre not joking. You will find several (lots?) of threads on here about moving gas/elec meters and none of them have found it cheap and by cheap I mean less than several hundred pounds.You have got to be joking! I thought it would only be around £100 - £200. It only needs to be moved to the other side of the wall.

Its very expensive to move them last time I checked it was over £500 and that was 5+ years ago0

It was some time ago, but when I asked they told me it was an old pipe, so if they as much as touched the meter they would need to lay a new pipe all the way from the main in the road (quite a way off). So I didn't get a quote as such but I would have been looking at several hundred even in those days.0

ThanksFeudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0
