Gas Supply Connection - Where to go?

jflundy

I need a gas connection as I want to pull out all my economy 7 storage heaters and install gas central heating to my 2 bedroomed house. 6 rads/combi

All my neighbours have gas and the house on the estate. We had gas 20 years ago coming in on a lead pipe, not sure what they did to block it off. Called Transco and they quoted me about £900 quid as we are about 10 meters from the road down the drive.

What are my options?

Dig the trench yourself and get them to connect?

I would if it was soil but as I'm not that young I don't fancy knocking concrete a concrete drive about

If National Grid (not transco as the disappeared over 7 yrs ago) own the pipes in the road, take a look at
