I have short loop of lead pipe connecting my gas meter to the black iron pipe of the rest of my installtion. (1960s house, so lots of iron pipe under concrete floor) Should I expect a respectable gas fitter to want to change this when he works on the kitchen cooker or just to note it as not to current standard and to work around it ?
Interested in what the pro's think.
Background -the cooker was changed - new bayonet fitting, quite recently, and nothing was said about it at all. Also the meter looks very new, but the lead pipe looks very much original. Since then I have read the gas regs and note lead pipe is called up and NOT permitted.
Was I diddled, and is it safe?
