Thanks for all the replies to my question. Clearly re-soldering is
the way to go.

For peace of mind can I state that:-

I have calculated the pipework sizing requirements (this is why the
15-22 change is needed)

I _will_ be disconnecting the gas pipework from the meter and clearing
the gas from said pipework.

The pipework _will_ be earth bonded while the work takes place.

Once coplete the pipework will be tested for soundness using pressure
drop test (at 20mb and also 5 and 10 looking for pressure rise to
ensure that no gas is leaking past the shut-off lever)

The gas pipe will be be fully purged.


Thanks again for all your help.
