Immediately Dangerous and gas switched off

House has been bought and asked supplier to change meter from prepayment to credit meter.
Utility company came and switched it off (Capped at mains) as it was found to be Immediately Dangerous. 2 gas fires were not in a safe state (coals missing and tiles broken). The gas hob was removed and not capped off. This caused a massive leak when they performed a leak test.
Now in a position to replace gas fires and connect gas cooker.
How do i get the gas switched back on (Its capped off at the mains)?
Obviously they need to check the gas fire installation to make sure it working before issuing a gas certificate?

You don't need a gas certificate.
Ring a few gasSafe engineers and get quotes. Select on and get him round. explain the gas is switched off and make sure he deals with that too!0 -
If you still have a meter then it will probably be capped after the meter and your Registered Gas Installer will be able to reconnect you.
If you don't still have a meter then contact the supplier again and ask for a meter to be installed. You will need the meter installed first as the RGI will need a live gas supply for testing.
The supplier will do a basic leak test but will not test your appliances for safety and will not issue a gas safety certificate.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0
