Hi, demolished old bungalow with gas supply and built new property. Old meter removed and Cadent capped off gas pipe prior to demolition. Cadent now saying best to run new pipe from mains outside driveway which would mean a 23m trench down the drive rather than reconnect to existing pipe that is 3m from house. New gas boiler in similar position to old one in terms of distance from original gas main so why new pipe needed? Never had any boiler issues before and Cadent not pressure tested the supply so why new pipe and expense. Any advice?
