mains gas supply?

[parkincake]

hi,

sorry if this is in the wrong place, or the subject is already covered elsewhere...

i am in the process of lifting a section of suspended ground floor to install some insulation. on doing this i have discovered the mains gas supply under the floor looked to be in very poor condition. it looked to have been originally coated in a bitumen in its distant past, it is however now a very flakey length of corrosion. am i to be concerned about its condition?

if it needs inspection, and maybe replacement, would i be responsible for any cost implications related to it, or is it national grids responsibility?

thanks in advance,

john

I would imagine it it's after the meter, then the cost of replacement would be down to you.
Before the meter, then the gas supply company.

meter is under the stairs in the middle of the house. so if you're correct that eases my concerns over the cost! i'll give national grid a call tomorrow.

thanks.
