Where to get a gas meter box?

[AdrianB]

I wasn’t sure which section to post this in but my house has two gas meters outside, the white boxes with the small doors that open to show to meter behind look tatty plus the doors are missing.

Can anyone tell me where I can get these? Or if I have to contact the gas company and how much I should expect to pay for these?

Many thanks.

Like these?

I suspect the problem is going to be one of compatibility - to replace the doors means finding out the manufacturer of your box and getting the right part.

Fulcrum cover gas connections in sussex. Phone their cust serv number and i think either they can provide replacement boxes or can put you in touch with whomever does.

Thanks for the replies. It is similar to ones pictured Softus, getting doors could be very hard so I think new boxes will be required as long as they aren't silly money.

I'll look at the box in detail later and see where I can go from there.

Thanks.

Just a word of advice, some boxes require you to have the supply disconnected before you replace,
I have seen numerous boxes become damaged whilst in build only for the gas/electric board to have to come out and disconnect the supply so a new box can be fitted.

most builders merchants sell them

That seems to be the problem skyblue! I've only had a quick look but the box seems to also have a back to it so I cant see how it would be possible to replace it without removing the supply and the gas meter so its not really going to be possible which is a shame as the old one is a mess.

What about one of these http://www.dri-sil.co.uk/upvc_door.htm

Universal over-box. Just fit over the top, no need to disturb the innards!

Also do new doors etc.

That could work I guess a box to completely cover the existing one. Mine looks different as it doesn't recess into the wall though, I'll have to try and get a picture.
