I went to look at a job which is a combi swap in a large listed building which has been converted into flats. It was obvious that the gas supply was undersized and would have to be upgraded. This would be very awkward to do running internally, but could be done quite easily if the pipe could be run up the side of the building externally. Does anybody know what the likelihood of getting permission for this might be, given that it's a safety issue and the current installation is obviously well under gassed? I didn't check the pressures as the owner was not present and I
couldn't even find the ecv (if there is one, which I doubt) or the point of entry into the flat. At the moment the gaspipe is run across the cellar from the external meter and the up to the second floor flat and has an effective length of about twenty metres all in 22mm until it enters the flat.
