It’s the same as turning off an appliance or gas escape, seek permission, but ultimately we as gas engineers do not have the power to cap, neither does the landlord.

hmmmm in which case she can sue the land Lord / council

good luck with that than

the council would have told the engineer to cap the gas

so it’s nowt to do with him
 
Hi,

I’m in agreement, and the landlord does have the law on it’s side, however, they still need to pursue the legal avenue. We also cap external meters, which usually gets us access, as going to the court costs money.

The only gas people with rights of entry afaik are the esp, eg Cadent.

Have a look at these attachments

Thanks you and I agree with you. As stated I feel this meter was outside.
 
You're not telling me the council couldn't ring her up and arrange a date?
 
If the tenant is not allowing access to the gas technician for completion of the gas certificate on several occasions the LandLord has no option but to have the gas supply disconnected until such time access is allowed. No current certificate then the landlord is liable even when the tenant blocks access.
I'm sure the landlord had arranged access with the tenants agreement or plenty of forwarding. By the time it gets to court validated access presently that is way past the expiry of the Gas Certificate so the only thing that can be done is capping off the supply until such time access is granted by the tenant (or court).
