And forgive me if I'm being ignorant, but is it standard/safe practice to leave a detected gas leak, that is so strong a neighbour reported smell it, leaking over night?

Interesting - have I missed it, or is there NO video/photographic evidence of him carrying out his longwinded tour of the house prior to 'correctly' locating the leak (in the most obvious palace to look)? Did he in fact find the leak straight away on 30th August and record this with video...

Thank you everyone, I've been picking up on the wisdom of 'less is more' approach also (congrats Matt on winning your legal battle, btw) Speaking to the neighbour would involve a major effort as we now live quite some distance away and don't have a car (plus our baby makes traveling about...

Thank you guys, So it definitely does look like we were not responsible for the leak. We definitely want to pursue this :) Though we have to admit to still having a sketchy grasp of the technical points you've raised (though we're trying!) - bent and soldered copper piping NOT in the...

OK - have uploaded the videos of the pressure loss and detecting the leak to Youtube (links below) and scanned and uploaded to DIYnot the better quality photos we asked for. Hope they are helpful... Any thoughts guys? http://youtu.be/t7oWt9_wh7g Video of pressure loss...

Only just got the memory stick back from the HA with video and better photos on. Will try to post tomorrow (if anyone's still interested after all this time!) Am considering cutting losses and accepting their offer of their dropping charges if we drop our claim for the £100 incentive, but it...

Could there be any circumstance that would justify not using a sniffer and searching for the leak the way he did? I will try to get better quality copies of the photos to post later in the week Umm, don't know why it looks like his surname is more than seven letters long? ...

Same here: it seems from the letter that he came back the next day, after inspecting, to find and repair the leak. Is it normal to leave a dangerous leak overnight?

Do you want his mobile number as well? ;)
