Gas Meter Relocation
We are converting the garage to a bedroom and would like to move the gas meter 2 metres to a box outside. Our builder is doing the digging and supplying a new gas meter cabinet in the wall. Octopus put me onto our gas network supplier (Norther Gas Networks) and they have quoted £790 to move and reconnect. Is this reasonable and are there any alternatives in the North East of England.
P.S - The lead times for doing the work are crazy!

Yes that's reasonable.No there are no alternatives. The supply pipework belongs to your network operator and only they can work on it.N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile. Ripple Kirk Hill member.

£790 is pretty good compared to some quotes I've seen!

That sounds like quite a lot to me.When I needed my gas meter moved, I got Southern Gas Networks to do all the work - pulling up my drive, digging the trench, installing everything and then reinstating teh drive. I paid £960.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.1
