Hi, we are in discussions with a builder about getting a cupboard under the stairs put in. It would create a lot more space if we could move the gas meter. I contacted the people who supply our meter and they can’t do anything for months. This doesn’t work for us as we have a new baby coming and need the work doing urgently.
The builder has been out to our property with a plumber who says he can sort it out. We weren’t actually in when he came (can access the cupboard from outside and we’re away) so didn’t get the full picture about how he would do this.
My questions are:
-Is it legal for a plumber with the right qualifications to move a meter?
-If yes, what qualifications would he need?
-What questions should I be asking him? I read something about an ECV needing to be moved by the gas company.
Any thoughts/comments on this really welcome. I’m struggling to find the answers I need online and don’t know much about this.
Thanks Danny.
