Gas Meter

[Ed_MK]

I was reading a few posts in this section and the same applies with us

 

re: our gas main is actually closer to the REAR of the property and so I have been advised the meter can go on that rear wall.

this has one BIG advantage for us ..

 

The meter location shown  is 39M from the main in the road we are connecting to.

Anything over 40M is classified as a "major" connection and prices go Loooopy (apparently)

If we were to connect it to the front utility room wall (as you cannot run gas under a house) it would be another 17m trip around (gulp)

 

At last a bit of luck 

 

But my real question is about the gas meter box ....well to be honest the electric one too ...I have a bricklayer starting in about 4 weeks and 
i need to get everything in for him....and i am presuming the 2 meter boxes are required.

Due to a narrow 1.5m path at the side ..i don't really fancy a "sticky out one"

 

Is there anyone with experience of installing a "built in one" ...I have a timber frame potton house ...(if that makes a difference

 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice
