I need old pipework removed. It's capped at the moment. How much would it be to remove the pipe completely? There is easy access to the gas meter as there is a hatch directly under it. The only other gas appliance in the house is a boiler.
How much to remove a redundant gas pipe?

Based in West of Scotland. We're wanting to know if it's worthwhile removing or not. The idea is to eventually get a log burner type stove fitted. Gas meter is indoors and hatch can fit a large person. Any idea on costs would be appreciated.

I will do it for £10.00
If you want it testing afterwards the price is £50.00
If you would like me to remove my shoes an extra £60.00 is payable.
I will need accommodation whilst I’m there for my girlfriend and four kids my wife doesn’t know about.
We’ll treat it as a holiday but I don’t mind doing five or ten minutes work for a free week in Scotland.
Are there any decent pubs in Scotland?
Yes, I know Ian’s missus has one but is it near you?
So........ £80.00 tops. Any more than that and you’re being ripped off.
Black pudding, not white thank you. X

Oh yeah, I love single malt.

£150 doesn't sound a million miles off at todays rates, access will be classed as less than ideal if it requires going through and taking all your tools through a hatch.
Then they've got to remove the old run of pipe or are you happy for it to be left in place and just capped off at the meter, maybe the job will cost less if you say you'll remove the old pipework if the gsr makes it safe at the meter?

Yup, well overpriced for the West of Scotland IMO if the access is good and the pipe will come out without any hassle.
