Is there gas in your road, or do you have a supply pipe in your property?

Suggests £540 +VAT for excavation and reinstatement.

undaunted

When I enquired I think they wanted about £420 (though I'm not in your area & there are already pipes outside in the street to connect to)

If you're not in that type of location it can be thousands / unviable - a relative & neighbours decided oil was a better bet as a result.

If you have a look at Consumer Focus website there will be a list of Gas suppliers & prices in your area & if you ring one they should be able to give you more info / a quote.

Good luck

The company you need to contact in West Sussex is Southern Gas Networks. Go to www.sgn.co.uk and click on Connections. I think you'd be in the region of £673 for a new connection. Thats the minimum charge unless you're prepared to do all the digging!

Hope this helps.

That's ridiculously reasonable.

I asked to relocate my gas meter about four metres,
from inside to front of house, and they (Transco) were quoting something like a thousand, about three years ago.

If you cast your minds back to the days of the mighty British Gas Corporation..you know..the nationally owned behemoth which dealt with all things gas...you would have got a gas service and meter fitted free of charge...happy days...ah well..the public gets what the public wants.
