Changing above ground gas main to underground

[joiner2808]

I'm looking for some advice please,

My gas meter is mounted on the front of my property and the feed to the boiler runs from it in copper clipped externally to the brickwork and then goes in through the wall to the boiler.

I want to build a porch on the front of the property and I know a live gas pipe can't run under the floor of the porch so I was hoping to change the pipe to mdpe and bury it under the driveway, go around the porch and then come back up where it goes through the wall and change back to copper again?

Can any of you gas safe people let me know if this is do-able or if I need to move the meter?

Thanks in advance.

Call your local gas transporter for advice. They'll be able to tell you what needs doing, and how many hundreds of pounds they're going to charge you to do it

If the meter is outside now and will end up indoors then the gas transported will need to move it. You'll then need a gas Safe to use metal pipework to connect back up to the existing boiler etc.

Why do you think a live gas internal pipe cannot run in a concrete floor ?

"
The service pipe takes
the gas to each individual meter. It is this
service pipe and the meter point that
must remain external to a property."

Oh sorry thought you were responding to my post directly above
I agree it's not completely clear hence I caveated it with "if the meter will end up indoors"
