Hello all,
We had our boiler and heating system serviced earlier this year.
The helplink engineer left an a4 piece of paper advising of a risk due to the pipework from our gas meter entering the building through the rear spigot on the box. Apparently it needs rectifying at our cost and the next time they wouldn't be able to do the service unless this was sorted. Our gas meter is outside the front of our house. The pipe behind it runs into and around a small storage "porch" like area and then into the house.
Has anyone else had this or is aware of it? Any comments would be appreciated!
He said it was due to some new regulations in 2011. Why is it such a problem I wander? I'm very sceptical when anything like this crops up. I always view it like building regs. If we all had to adhere to them as they are in 2012 we'd all be spending a hell of a lot altering our homes to match 2012 standards!
