I'd like my gas meter to be moved, it's sat about a foot away from the wall through which the gas pipe comes - on the end of a flexible pipe.
If not for the hard 22mm copper pipe that runs from the domestic side of the meter it could be moved very simply, without having to do anything other than push it gently against the wall.
I've been advised that no plumber would touch this job, and that is' gas-company only, for ~£700.
Does anyone have any experience of this sort of thing? I'm unsure why a plumber can re-position gas-pipework elsewhere in a building, but not coming off the meter, and I think that £700 seems a bit steep for a job that I could do myself (but won't due to risk of blowing the spare bedroom apart).
