    Found the price on here £580 - not as bad as I expected. A gas safety engineer said he'd charge £50 to reattach for me.

    Though I like the sound of finding someone to "do a foreigner"...

    I rather doubt you will see an NG van sitting around...
    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..

    Times change! 25 years ago, we had the gas meter moved outside at no cost! New pipework 30feet to main in road. Electricity board then wanted £176 to move their meter--no need to move incoming cable or company fuse-box, just poke existing meter tails through wall!

    Yes, even more recently some of the utilities companies were doing moves to outside for free because it helps with meter reading. Now that different companies own different parts of the infrastructure that seems to have died off.
