The gas company is coming out to install a gas line to my house up to the recess box you can see. There is a drain running from the back of the car and along the drive where you can see the man hole covers. Will they be actually able to run it to the recess box? Is this something the sales rep should have picked up on or should it be okay?
Can i get a gas pipe under the drive?

Or screwed to the brickwork?

But it needs to come from the mains gas under the ground to the recess box
Cant see them moling that they will more than likely dig this
Why is that?
Digging a trench doesn't need fancy equipment and people trained to use it.
Why do you care how they do it? The appearance of the drive afterwards perhaps?
You could ask them what they propose to do.
Well is that not obvious? Of course the appearance of the drive.
Well, obviously, you need to ask them what they propose to do - not some random people on the internet.

Manholes/drainage in the way. You'd be better asking them how they are going to do it though.
pretty obvious why by your picture .
And should it not have been one of your first questions to them
What damage will be done to my drive and what sort of reinstatement will you do
pretty basic standard question asked by the vast majority of people

If you have no existing metal gas line to push the pipe through, and its a new install its more than likely they will trench and reinstate a like for like surface. But you need to ask them..
Yes i did ask and i was told they will not know until morning of arrival by the contractor. One way or other its getting done especially as its free of charge but i would prefer the mole
