Thanks AGAS. I will measure up when I get home. You never know. If you'd seen the amount of stuff on the shelves in front of the door, you'd understand why there's no way they could have tested it. They probably would have preferred to be able to do the work with the door open if they could; it...

JohnD Ah, sorry in my ignorance I thought SGN was Southern Gas (Network).. SGN are the people who did the work and the people I have been speaking to, not Southern Gas.. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks everyone, I will give Gas Safe a call; it's worth a try. AGAS, your are a suspicious soul aren't you? I don't understand what you find so fishy about the problem. I think it was an honest mistake; it's low enough down on the wall so that without opening the door, I doubt anyone would...

Presumably my wife verbally agreed to the location but she can't remember. As I said it was well over a...

Thanks Bernard. I've tried contacting them several times, and just go round and round in circles; they say that I should have said something at the time and when I point out that the door wasn't accessible at the time, they say that I need to speak to my supplier.. I have no leverage with...

Here's a rough sketch if it helps explain the problem..

Hi I'm looking for a bit of advice as to what can be done about my gas meter. A year or two ago Southern Gas dug up the road to replace the pipes along our street and to each house. I was at work but they told my wife that they had to move our gas meter because it was too far inside the house...
