Hi,
There has been gas work going on all up the road where my Mum lives, and as a result they have replaced the pipe going from the road into my Mum's house with a plastic one. This involved fitting the new pipe to the gas meter ( which is inside the house ).
The problem is that the gas meter is now no longer fixed to the wall. It is basically where it was, but an inch lower and at a slight angle, and is only supported by the pipes going in and out the top - it is effectively hanging from them.
Is this safe? Or should we insist that they secure it to the wall before they have finished the road? Surely the pipes aren't meant to support the weight of the meter?
Thanks in advance.
