As title, she's got bairns as well ... surely something she can do or say to get them to put the gas on sooner than 26th April

    Is gas supplied to the house, but disconnected? i.e. pipes go to the house?

    Who if anyone is the supplier? It may not be a registered site, if supplier withdrew having removed meter.

    Is there a meter fitted??
    Feudal 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..

    If there is a gas supply to the property (i.e. only needs meter fitting) then I believe the maximum lead time for British Gas and most other suppliers on any gas meter job is 6 workings days (1 week). Get back onto them and hassle them for a better date.

    Probably, but as you haven't told us why she doesn't have gas, we have even less clue than you do about what she might do or say.
