Hi; not quite sure which forum to post this, so Admin please move if deemed necessary.
Anyway a friend is in a panic as she's just had this 'Danger Do Not Use' notice slapped on her by an engineer at her flat, where I believe he was due to install a smart meter: She doesn't know what to do next. 'Gas meter is less than 150mm from electric switches' and 'gas pipe less than 25mm from electric cables'. It's been left 'At risk and not turned off'.
Is this spacing between services a recent requirment? If not, who's responsibility would it be to ensure it was correct, or to put it right, and Is it down to her to pay for it to be corrected? I haven't seen the site, but I'm guessing it'll be easier to shuffle the electrics out of the way.
Thanks!
Phil
