I payed £200 (about 5 years ago ) to have my meter moved outside. As Dave
says, they moved the stop cock outside. They also dug up my patio to replace
the connecting pipe. I guess that this type of work isn't done by your
normal Corgi gas fitter.

Hi
would there be there any reason that we cannot get a corgi registered gas
man to re-site our gas meter from one side of the kitchen wall to the
other (ie fom indoors to outside in the garden?) There is a path all the
way round the outside to the proposed location, and there is a manual
lever to turn the gas off just before the meter. It would make meter
reading so much easier, and give us another cupboard space in the kitchen.
The gas suppliers have quoted £495 to move it 0.2 meters, since this is
the minimum charge they make. They would not even have to drill a hole in
the wall since there is a vent-brick right beside the meter anyway, and I
think we can buy the meter boxes from Ridgeons.
Thanks in advance
Mara
