    Smart meter installed correctly?

    An OVO fitter installed a gas meter and said we would smell gas for 24-48 hours. I took a look in the meter box and saw a load of putty and sealant around pipe that goes into the property. Just wondered if this looks like it's been done correctly? Or if we should get it looked at.

    Boiler pilot light won't stay lit after meter change

    We just had our meters changed from prepayment to smart meters. The boiler was lit after with no leaks, but has subsequently gone out and won't stay lit anymore. There is still a good gas supply to the cooker so I don't think it's a supply issue. Any ideas???

    Digital gas meter not a E6 or smart meter.

    I work on new builds so mainly come across smart meters. Though we do some boiler replacements too. I have the meter shown below a digital one but not a smart meter or E6?
