Who is responsible for this gas pipe damage?

Personally I would write to him recorded delivery stating that you intend to pursue him for the cost through the small claims court, giving him a reasonable time to respond, say 7 working days. Tradespeople have insurance for the specific reason in circumstances such as this. It isn't your fault you didn't know where underground pipes are laid, not many householders do. Nor was he to know either but it was him who caused the damage.
Alternatively you can threaten him with you writing to your local freesheet newspaper and damaging his reputation.“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.”
