No Gas Meter

Do you have a mid-brown coloured plastic box by your front door, at ground level?    Is that not it?

@JulesSheah    From your post you also went to look for your electric meter.

What about your electric bills - are those full of Estimated readings as well ?

I have no brown ground level box.  As far as can tell meter readings have all been estimates.  The meter man has been (would usually have come in the day when I would have been at work) and apparently he only took an electricity meter reading but did not actually say anything (I now WFH so was first time I have been at home when meters done).

Even if your bills are estimates there should still be a meter serial number on the bill, can you check that against your neighbours and see if it is a match.

I have a friend with exactly the same house design as me.  The electricity meter is on one side of the back door, the gas on the other.  Where my gas should be I have a flat fixed board which one cannot open.  I have a meter number so I am guessing I am mapped but when it came to finishing off the job and actually putting the meter in they did not

... or they broke the door on the gas meter cabinet and screwed a board over it so no-one would notice.

Can you take a photo of this board and the wall immediately around it and post here? And, if your neighbour doesn't mind, of theirs?

You would think that having dual supplies would mean that a meter reader would read both at the same visit.  In my experience that is not the case.

So where is your gas isolation valve?

JulesSheah

Top one is where my gas should be, bottom one is my electricity one.  The isolation valve should be by side of the meter....

JulesSheah

sorry posted other way round, bottom is gas
