    Has anybody else told you piles is the best way? I was in that position once with trees 3m away and clay soil but when I got Building control out he just made me go down 1.8m 0n on side and 1.5 on the other 2 walls. Saved a lot of money.

    Taking a boiler off the wall

    Thanks gents, very helpful. I'm also having the meter moved so it will be turned off also. I assume that even after that there will still be gas left in the system and that someone else should do what I was talking about on the original question?
