Changing oil central heating to gas

We are in the process of changing an oil tank supply to a mains gas supply. However, having phoned British Gas and National Grid, all we have been told is that it will cost us £250 to get them to connect us, but that we need to arrange for another company to dig the trench required for the mains gas to be supplied. Why they cannot do this themselves we don;t know, and on one occasion, we were actually quoted for 300 pounds by British Gas to dig the trench temselves - they are saying this is not true. Any ideas who we could go to to get the trench dug and how much it might cost based on any forum readers previous experience will be gratefully received. We live in the Cheshire region - if that makes any difference!
