    Relocation of gas meter

    You do not have to use Scotia to move a meter. As long as you are not moving the ECV and fit a secondry ECV at the meter point and CLEARLY LABEL the position of the original ECV and leave it accesable then it can be done by a CORGI with MET1. Not many people know that...
