gas supply pipe plasterboarded over

[RobTi]

Hi
Was in to do an quote for some tiling in a garage to bedroom conversion, and noticed that the main gas pipe from the meter running horizontally about 450mm from the ground was being sheeted over with plasterboard and hidden behind it so it ran from front to back around 6 m
Is this okay, brought it up and was told they did a couple ever month and hadn't had one fail building control yet

Thanks

no mate u cant run gas pipe behind plaster board horizontally,u can run it vertically,but it has to be done a specific way under regs,and definitly not covered in sand and cement
