Hi
Just been ripping out a [flood damaged] kitchen where the gas meter is rather stupidly placed on the floor located inside a rather botched cabinet.
In my fervour to remove the ceiling a big lump of board came down on the meter and bent and holed the anaconda on the meter. The gas was off, but now leaks when turned on.
Question is the anaconda is on the 'supplier side' so am I liable to stump up for the damaged pipe?
I would rather shift it meter outside as the gas main comes into the meter through the wall and the feed out goes straight out the same wall about 12" to the right, ridiculous.
Any ideas if I am going to get stung to rectify the damage, obviously a Gas Safe can't touch the meter on the supply side, so it will be TransCo who will have to resolve.
Anyone know if a bung to the TransCo engineer might see the meter move outside as I have just priced the job up on their website at a ridiculous £750!
