I work for myself selling and fitting kitchens and last week on a job I called the local corgi registered plumber out of the phone book as I was further away than my regular plumber is willing to travel.
I asked him to install pipework for a new hob an move the gas meter tighter into the unit under the sink! He looked a the meter and said that if he was making a new connection or moving the meter it was not allowed to be under the sink as under a sink classes as a corrosive atmosphere. And would have to move the whole lot its the next unit which caused me nothing but problems.
In my 9 years of fitting kitchens I have never heard of this! If this is correct I have 9 years worth of faulty sited gas meters to consider as nearly every house I work on the meter is under the sink!
Any help on this one.
