Moving Gas Mains Pipe

[Jawbkk]

Our gas meter is located in the garage and a stell pipe (about 35mm dia) comes out vertically through the garage floor. The garage is built into the property and this is the main reason for wanting information as we want to convert the garage to an additional room.

Most people are doing this in the area so I guess I could check with them what they did.

But assuming they have left their gas pipe where it is, how do I go about having it moved? Obviously a job I'm not about to do, but need to consider this hen drawing up the conversion plans for building regs approval.

The gas pipe is approx 3.6m from the garage entrance.

 

Is it possible to locate the gas meter outside?

The white vertical pipe belongs to your your gas supplier or the gas network supplier.

 

To move is few stages. The network will have meter move forms you complete and pay a chunk of money to them. They make an appointment. You then get your plumber to disconnect the house from the meter. Network team arrived, move meter and replace pipe as required. Your plumber comes back to replace or run the house gas pipe and does commissioning checks. Budget a month or two from filling form in to being commissioned. All work can normally be done in a day, just getting everything aligned takes time.
