Gas supply removal….

We got Octopus to remove our gas meter a year and an half ago, they do it for free, can’t say fairer than that!  They took the meter itself, capped off the plastic pipe inside the meter box outside our house, turned off the pipe shutoff and took the lever away for good measure.

I think a year after it had gone we got a letter from Cadent saying they’d come and inspect - and that if they thought it was unsafe they’d charge to take out the pipe all the way to the road - and that would be the pricey bit(£1500 ish I think).  The pipe was still nicely protected in the meter box, so they went away happy - no charge 😇

If we did that we’d have a nice colourful yellow pipe waggling around in mid air - I suspect they’d take a dim view of that.
