Mains Gas Pipe

[HotrodCJH]

Was wondering if SGN will run a mains gas pipe in screed and through a wall, rather than digging a couple of holes? Anyone had any experience with gas networks moving meters.

nope!!!

 

[HotrodCJH]

nope they won't, or nope you don't know.

 

[fazedup71]

sorry they wont, all to do with minimum depth cover

currently external to external on the other side of solid wall. its current position will mean the meter will be in my porch when its built.

ok am not sure but as long as there is nothing wrong with the service, i would have thought they would have just dug the one hole and come up with a house entry tee

 

[HotrodCJH]

am I right in saying it needs to be 450mm under the ground. Dig a couple of half meter deep holes either side of the wall for them.

2m of 8inch solid wall sticking out perpendicular from the front of the house. Meter is on the left hand side of the wall. I want it on the right.

They will not put a new service pipe under a foundation or floor now unless its a leak to an existing service and its inserted into the existing iron service to existing position.
Even the smallest service alteration is up around 700 quid now
