My gas meter is connected to lead pipe. Everything is ok and it works fine. However I cannot get a smart meter fitted as the engineer says he cannot connect the meter to lead.
My question is will the gas pipe be all in lead from the street or do they come in with copper and then change into lead for whatever reason?
The house is a 1950's semi in Yorkshire.
I can access the floor quite easily in the front room as I think this is where the gas feed will come in. So I might be able to discover what I have down there.
Also how will an engineer connect onto any copper to remove the lead in question ? Or is this a case of getting the gas company to dig up the street and shut off the gas to ny house ?
