Default New boiler undergassed. Blame gas meter governor?

Instead of simply blaming the governeor he should fit his manometer to
the test nipple on the meter and measure the pressure at the meter
with the appliances running. Unles you live in a bugalow with the
meter close below the boiler I would say the pipe is likely to require
uprating.
Transco will probably tell you the same thing
