Rip off Suppliers

Sniks

On Saturday evening a Morrisons utility engineer working on a street gas leak problem

entered my home to check for any signs of gas leaks, of which there were none.

On seeing our meter he declared the gas meter governor to be faulty and would

need replacing, and if convenient to me a job he could do immediately,

I agreed and he proceeded.

On completion he declared a 2 bar drop in pressure, sealed the meter and left us with no gas,

telling us to call our supplier (British Gas) to come and resolve the problem, he had a zero gas leak policy

whereas British Gas had an up to a 4 bar latitude and and would be able to reconnect the supply.

A British Gas engineer arrived early Sunday morning and tested all gas appliances and failed

to find any leaks or problems, but he would not reconnect the gas as he would not override the

first engineers decision, although he confirmed the gas pressure drop of 2 bars was within acceptable

tolerance.

His solution to the problem was to have all gas pipes in the house replaced,

for which he is returning to give me a quote.

Allowing the pressure drop is in tolerance guide lines it seems it was just a chance to drum up some work, I feel I am being

conned into having unnecessary work done,

with needless cost with damage and disruption to my home.

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated

My thought is what does the content of your post have to do with the title?

I would get a second (third?) opinion on what BG has said.
